In order to save your sick friend, you'll need to recover five artifacts from the dragon-inhabited caves to the east. Collecting them will reverse the direction of time, ensuring that the dragons are never awoken. But you'll have to be careful on your way back out! Don't stray too far from your original path!
This game came out of a week long game jam ( http://madjam.ca/gdx ) and a full game based on this concept is in the works. If you're interested in being notified when the full version is done, we've got a mailing list at http://noonewashere.com , or you can follow our twitter account http://twitter.com/reverse_game .
