Around you are the dark hospital corridors and his minions, patrolling the halls. You have to slip past them and find the operating room before your heart stops.\n\nThe only way you can see is through the beats of your own heart: each pulse briefly outlines the walls, the furniture, and the figures of enemies around you. But you only have so many beats \u2014 and every flash gives you away to the Reaper walking your trail.\n\n## \ud83c\udfae Controls\n\n**PC**\n- `WASD` \u2014 move\n- `Mouse` \u2014 look\n- `SPACE` \/ `LMB` \u2014 beat","title":"Soul Beat","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/429001+429002+429003+429004+429005+429006+429007+429008+429009+429010+429011+429012+429013+429014+429015+429016+429017+429018+429019+429020+429021+429022+429023+429024+429025+429026+429027+429028+429029+429030+429031+429032+429033+429034+429035+429036+429037+429038+429039+429040+429041+429042+429043+429044+429045+429046+429047+429048+429049+429050+429051+429052+429053+429054+429055+429056+429057+429058+429059+429060+429061+429062+429063+429064+429065+429066+429067+429068+429069+429070+429071+429072+429073+429074+429075+429076+429077+429078+429079+429080+429081+429082+429083+429084+429085+429086+429087+429088+429089+429090+429091+429092+429093+429094+429095+429096+429097+429098+429099+429100+429101+429102+429103+429104+429105+429106+429107+429108+429109+429110+429111+429112+429113+429114+429115+429116+429117+429118+429119+429120+429121+429122+429123+429124+429125+429126+429127+429128+429129+429130+429131+429132+429133+429134+429135+429136+429137+429138+429139+429140+429141+429142+429143+429144+429145+429146+429147+429148+429149+429150+429151+429152+429153+429154+429155+429156+429157+429158+429159+429160+429161+429162+429163+429164+429165+429166+429167+429168+429169+429170+429171+429172+429173+429174+429175+429176+429177+429178+429179+429180+429181+429182+429183+429184+429185+429186+429187+429188+429189+429190+429191+429192+429193+429194+429195+429196+429197+429198+429199+429200+429201+429202+429203+429204+429205+429206+429207+429208+429209+429210+429211+429212+429213+429214+429215+429216+429217+429218+429219+429220+429221+429222+429223+429224+429225+429226+429227+429228+429229+429230+429231+429232+429233+429234+429235+429236+429237+429238+429239+429240+429241+429242+429243+429244+429245+429246+429247+429248+429249+429250+429251+429252+429253+429254+429255+429256+429257+429258+429259+429260+429261+429262+429263+429264+429265+429266+429267+429268+429269+429270+429271+429272+429273+429274+429275+429276+429277+429278+429279+429280+429281+429282+429283+429284+429285+429286+429287+429288+429289+429290+429291+429292+429293+429294+429295+429296+429297+429298+429299+429300+429301+429302+429303+429304+429305+429306+429307+429308+429309+429310+429311+429312+429313+429314+429315+429316+429317+429318+429319+429320+429321+429322+429323+429324+429325+429326+429327+429328+429329+429330+429331+429332+429333+429334+429335+429336+429337+429338+429339+429340+429341+429342+429343+429344+429345+429346+429347+429348+429349+429350+429351+429352+429353+429354+429355+429356+429357+429358+429359+429360+429361+429362+429363+429364+429365+429366+429367+429368+429369+429370+429371+429372+429373+429374+429375+429376+429377+429378+429379+429380+429381+429382+429383+429384+429385+429386+429387+429388+429389+429390+429391+429392+429393+429394+429395+429396+429397+429398+429399+429400+429401+429402+429403+429404+429405+429406+429407+429408+429409+429410+429411+429412+429413+429414+429415+429416+429417+429418+429419+429420+429421+429422+429423+429424+429425+429426+429427+429428+429429+429430+429431+429432+429433+429434+429435+429436+429437+429438+429439+429440+429441+429442+429443+429444+429445+429446+429447+429448+429449+429450+429451+429452+429453+429454+429455+429456+429457+429458+429459+429460+429461+429462+429463+429464+429465+429466+429467+429468+429469+429470+429471+429472+429473+429474+429475+429476+429477+429478+429479+429480+429481+429482+429483+429484+429485+429486+429487+429488+429489+429490+429491+429492+429493+429494+429495+429496+429497+429498+429499+429500?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/e2\/e2242a7d8408ff1c54feebc71a423fcafbf85a70a5e0ed1209164135ce5fcdfe","record":"shard-2\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/a149866bafadb28ad0611980d4f585041defa4c85ac725ac7d2819bcae04f5ab.json","sha256":"e2242a7d8408ff1c54feebc71a423fcafbf85a70a5e0ed1209164135ce5fcdfe","source":"https","stored_at":1784022552}}
