DARK FANTASY STORY
Europe is in the throes of a religious storm and more than one preacher is predicting the end of the world. The year is 1428, and the Hussite campaign into Silesia has just begun. Heretics seem to be the greatest danger for a land without a king. But the real evil lurks somewhere else and has no plans to engage in religious disputes.
You'll experience everything from the perspective of the two main characters, the sullen Hussite governor Hynek, who doesn't go far for a swear word and doesn't argue with much of anything, and the Johannite knight Lothar, a man of good education and manners who stands alongside his brothers in the front line of Silesian defence. Each has their own motivations and views of the world around them, different equipment and abilities. Their fates soon become intertwined. Will they clash, gun in hand, or forge a fragile alliance to stand shoulder to shoulder with a far worse enemy?
CHALLENGING PUZZLES
The original puzzles you will encounter on your journey will certainly give you a hard time. The classic adventure games of the 1990s were a big inspiration for us. You'll have to exploit the environment, search for objects, gather information and solve puzzles or encrypted messages. Some problems can be solved in different ways, or cleverly bypassed.
SNEAKING IN THE SHADOWS
Sometimes you'll have to blend into the shadows and sneak past enemies to avoid being detected. Following their patrol routes and habits will help you find the perfect path.
COMPLEX FIGHTS
The combat system is simple to understand, but it will take practice to fully master. Remember one thing: Outnumbering is a problem! If three or more opponents come at you at the same time, you will die! The key is to exploit their mistakes, wait for the right moment, and then attack. You'll face not only knights, villagers, or robbers, but also various supernatural creatures that are not to be underestimated.
DIVERSE ENVIRONMENT
During the game you will move both on foot and in the saddle of your horse. You will visit a variety of real and fictional places in medieval Silesia. You will plunder villages, resolutely defend city walls, explore secret underground dungeons, abandoned mines, or forbidden parts of monasteries. The action often takes place underground, during the rain, or at night, which adds to the dark atmosphere and the emphasis on the contrast of light and shadow.
HIDDEN COINS
In the game you will be able to search for two types of hidden coins. Only the most careful will be able to collect them all. Not only will you fill your wallet with them and unlock unique achievements, but you can also occasionally use them to progress through the story.
