I’m trying to remember the name of an indie RPG/soulslike game I played around 5 years ago.

Here’s what I remember:

• It was an indie RPG, possibly soulslike because of the difficulty.
• Open world.
• The title may have included words like “blood”, “bone/bones”, or “moon”.
• It was NOT dark fantasy. The atmosphere was more mysterious/fantasy than grim.
• You start in a small enclosed/tutorial area with a wooden sword.
• After leaving the starting area, you enter a forest.
• I remember several biomes/zones:
  • Forest
  • Beach/coast
  • Desert
  • Swamp
  • Snow area
• There was a moon mechanic:
  • You could change the moon type/color in a part of the map.
  • Different moons (green, red, blue, normal) would unlock/open different areas of the game.
• The game had a mechanic where if you died too many times (I think around 7 deaths), you had to restart or were heavily punished.
• I think it was 3D.

Games it is NOT:

• Dark Souls
• Elden Ring
• Mortal Shell
• Nother

Does anyone know this game?

I'm looking for a 2D platformer I watched on YouTube sometime between 2015 and 2018. I'm not 100% sure it was released during those years, but that's when I saw it.

What I remember:

• It was a side-scrolling 2D platformer.
• The graphics were hand-drawn/cartoon-like, not pixel art.
• The game was very difficult, similar to I Wanna Be The Guy in the sense that it had lots of spikes, hidden traps, and unexpected deaths.
• The main character was a short humanoid office worker wearing a suit. His head was white and square-ish with rounded corners, almost like a marshmallow or sugar cube. I think he had simple black eyes.
• The game started in an office/corporate environment and I remember the story being about the employee rebelling against or escaping from the company.
• When you died, a corporate-style report/file would appear over the gameplay (the level was still visible in the background). I remember it looking like an employee document clipped together, showing details such as the cause of death and possibly the time of death.
• The camera showed a fairly large portion of the level rather than being zoomed in closely on the character.

Bosses and worlds I remember:

1. Office world – The first boss was the protagonist's boss: a humanoid bull with red eyes, wearing a business suit and carrying a briefcase.
2. Desert world – The boss was two snakes/serpents.
3. Jungle world – The boss was some kind of eagle-man/bird-man character.

Other details:

• There were animal enemies in the levels, including crocodiles (or something very similar).
• I don't remember the character having weapons; I think the gameplay was mainly platforming and jumping.
• I'm fairly sure it was available on Steam.
• For years I mistakenly remembered the protagonist as being a cup/mug, but after thinking about it more I'm almost certain he was actually a white marshmallow/sugar-cube-like character in a suit.

Does anyone recognize this game?
