This is a short game!
Beneath the quiet fields lies a forgotten world — the ancient Spirited Line of subway, long abandoned and sealed away.
When a curious kitten stumbles upon its hidden entrance, she awakens forces far older and darker than she could imagine.
Armed with a mystical blade and guided by an old Janitor, she must face the tormented spirits haunting the stations and find her way to freedom.
Nothing But Epic Bossfights
Spirited Line is a short, tightly designed boss-rush hack and slash game built around simple, skill-based combat and epic battles.
To escape the strange underground world, you must face a series of intense duels against powerful spirits — each one guarding their own mysterious station.
As you fight your way deeper through the haunted subway, you’ll uncover fragments of its forgotten past, revealed through the guidance of an old Janitor and the bizarre world around you.
Learn Through Defeat
Every hit you take is fatal — there are no upgrades, no health bars, and no second chances. Victory comes only through skill, timing, and precision.
Each spirit is a unique challenge, demanding focus and patience. Study their patterns, learn from each failure, and grow stronger with every attempt.
Defeat is part of the journey — and every loss shall bring you one step closer to victory.
Minimalist & Atmospheric
Explore a surreal subway underworld made of melancholy and dreamlike simplicity. Each station is a self-contained world shaped by memory and obscure remains of the old world.
Dialogue is sparse, but the world tells its own story through visuals, sound, and encounters.
