Ink Souls

Legend has it that there once lived an Artist capable of capturing the soul of those he drew on a sheet of papyrus, so that family members could preserve their love forever.

Such a gift reached the ears of the Emperor, who ordered him to possess the souls of his enemies to punish them in the afterlife forever.

As the Artist refused, the Emperor ordered him to be executed and his papyrus burned.

The Artist's last drawing was his own portrait, in the hope of freeing the rest of the souls from the Emperor's punishment.

When the fire reaches the souls, they will burn in eternity. Souls once condemned in ink will be set free with ink.

Instructions

The goal is to free the 4 souls trapped in the papyrus. To do this you must dye your weapon the color of its soul by placing yourself on the colored ink stains and attack it.
