Curtis here, I wanted to be transparent about the story. I sat down to write a little story and came up with the story below. You will notice that it is different than the one on the jam page. I took what I wrote, threw it into GPT and the result is on the jam page, with a few tweaks I made to it. I've been really enjoying reading different stories that I start and then ask GPT to flesh out for me. I'm not a writer by trade and for a jam can't afford one. This isn't meant to be a AI conversation post, just a heads up that I did use AI to help with some background story creation. 

Thanks for your understanding!

<3 Curtis

Background:

The year is unknown, time has no frame in this future. But you, a young Pulsewalker, are tasked with finding the relics of lost ages. While on your expedition you find yourself trapped within a dark catacomb system. Music as always driven your civilization, every citizen has their own Harmonizer playing the soundtrack of its Pulsewalker while also providing other support services. Not only does it produce the soundtrack it pulses at the rate of the Pulsewalkers sound track helping the Pulsewalker know where the rhythm is.

Pulsewalkers are not known for their violence, but they are known for their athletics. Their spindly frame allows them to be lightweight and agile, jumping, dashing, and even multiples of the either allow them to navigate around areas with ease.  But their powers are not inherent to themselves, they are augments that Pulsewalkers use to enhance their abilities.

Where did they learn these augmentations? No one truly knows as it has been lost to ancient history, but as you navigate these catacombs, you find the ancient beginnings of these augments scattered throughout the levels.

You must use these augments to boost your abilities and navigate your way out of the catacombs. Collect the ancient keys that will allow you to move through the different locked doors.

Beware, the catacombs contain many different obstacles and dangers. Latent heat traps and laser defense traps will hinder your progress. Thankfully your Harmonizer keeps you safe and if you fall into danger will simply transport you back to a safe place.
