   Summary

   numquam solus; Latin, translated to "never alone".

   A series of chronological works held within the Hyper Light Drifter universe, replacing certain characters with self-inserts to add depth and other aspects to the original game's plot. Started as a vague idea; yet will be finished as long as I am hyperfixated on this game.

   Please note that not everything in this series is completely canon to the Hyper Light Drifter universe.

   Spoilers for the game's plot and major events are seen in later Acts and Chapters.
