Castle in the Darkness coming this Fall
August 6, in the year of our Lord 2014 -- Hear
ye, hear ye! In the tenebrous hours of yester-evening, a
terrible tragedy befell our great kingdom. A sorcerer and his
legions fell upon us, and against their indefatigable onslaught
even our royal guard came to naught—save one!
Come summer in the year of our Lord two thousand and fourteen,
this single survivor will arise to give succor to our blighted
realm—and he has need of your steady hand!
Castle in the Darkness recalls a golden, bygone era—both through
its nostalgic aesthetic, and its damning difficulty. Traipse
past traps, careen through corridors, and badger belligerent
bosses while charting the erstwhile un-chartable Alexandrian
kingdom and girding your loins and other important organs with a
veritable cornucopia of armor, arms, and sorcery. Alexandria is
a kingdom of ancient and byzantine history, and much of what it
was yet remains hidden, often behind more substantial ramparts
than mere mists of time!
Harken, heroes! Still your breath and you will hear: The gates
of Alexandria begin to grind, and behind them the susurrus of a
hundred thousand monsters waiting for your steel. Surely you
won’t begrudge them a taste of your blade, and thereby free our
kingdom from its torment!
