Player starts in world of the living fighting enemies zelda-style. At some point, the player will take too much damage and will die. At that point, they will be transported to the world of the dead where they will "harvest" the souls of the enemies they've already defeated. From there the player can be reincarnated into the world of the living again and will be more or less powerful depending on how many souls they have harvested.
