A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

In the land of beastfolk, one lineage of fox known to bear the loom of the universe, guarding the fabric of reality from unravelling. Every century, Uroboros, the timekeeper dragon, grants one of their descendants the art of spacetime, allowing one to weave the threads to one's desire at the cost of one's life force. But there is more, the power lends one a fragment of time, nine lives, that must be returned by wise use.

Play as Flax the fox, your average chosen-one archetype, and delve deeper into the endless underworld, hoping for Uroboros to pity your struggle.
