Arcane Ascent - level blockout

In this Metroidvania inspired fantasy adventure our protagonist visits a long abandoned Castle, that was once a center point of magical studies and long forgotten knowledge. The Castle baffles with its enormous size and countless halls seeping with ancient secrets and arcane mysteries. Its infinite chambers hide a vast array of enemies, magical items and traps that will challenge any visitor.  

That is the setting for a hypothetical game, this level was created for. Designed as a starting tutorial level, the player enters the world of the Castle for the first time, getting acquainted with the games mechanics and the world around them.
