Pithead Studio, a team comprised of former developers from the renowned RPG studio Piranha Bytes (creators of Gothic and Risen), unveils their debut game: Cralon. This dark fantasy RPG casts players as Claron the Brave, whose mission is to hunt a malevolent demon responsible for the devastation of his home.
Claron's quest leads him into a vast, subterranean network, a perilous labyrinth where he seeks both retribution and a route back to the surface. This intricate maze forms the core of the gameplay, presenting players with countless secrets to unearth. The captivating storyline is full of unexpected twists and turns, further enhanced by optional quests that delve deeper into the game's rich history. Players will encounter a diverse array of creatures, from helpful companions to formidable foes standing in their path.
Cralon features a meticulously crafted world, seamlessly connecting different areas with visually striking environments. Dynamic dialogue, influenced by player choices, and a comprehensive skill tree ensure each playthrough is unique. Gathering crafting materials, solving complex puzzles, and deciphering ancient writings are all crucial elements in uncovering the dungeon's hidden lore.
Currently planned for PC release, Cralon's precise launch date remains undisclosed, but promises a truly unforgettable journey into the depths of darkness.
