The Protagonish!



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.

With fun hand-drawn characters and animations by Elena Grossi, and hand-crafted backgrounds from Lucy Gillespie, we've created a cosy and wholesome medieval-fantasy-type world to explore. With a full score on real Celtic instruments, and a 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.


Written by Daniel Turner, Suilin Lavelle and Andy McKinlay
