An short adventure game where you don't control the adventurer

A fearless knight has come to a medieval village on an epic quest to slay a legendary beast. But that's not you.

Take control of four typical 'side-characters' and choose to help or hinder the adventurer in their mission.
Now available on Steam and itch.io!



With beautiful hand-drawn characters and animations by the amazing Elena Grossi, and deep and engrossing backgrounds from the peerless Lucy Gillespie, we've created a cosy and wholesome medieval-fantasy world to explore. There’s a full score performed on real Celtic instruments, and a full voice cast from the stars of Edinburgh stand-up and stage including:

Asher Learmouth as The Adventurer,
Natasha Mott as The Shopkeeper,
Richard Werner as The Monk, and
Vincent Guy as The Beastie.
