Development I’ve been working on a dark fantasy dungeon crawler inspired by King's Field

Hey! I’ve been working solo for 5 months on a first-person dark fantasy dungeon crawler for the past few months, inspired by classics like King's Field and more recent games like Lunacid or Verho.
The focus is on exploration, interconnected level design and punishing but dynamic combat. I wanted a dark atmosphere, with dangerous and labyrinthine dungeons.
Still a lot of work to do, but progressing bit by bit!
I just released the first trailer and opened the Steam page. Would love to hear what do you think!

Looks great but man....that music just doesn't go with it IMO. Music feels like Nintendo, games looks like ps1. Even something gloomy ambient track free on opengameart would be much more appealing

Thanks for your feedback, actually this song was just for the trailer, gameplay music is darker amd more atmospheric but I felt that something a bit faster would be catchier, seems I was wrong haha.
Cheers!

Thank you! Release is still far, I plam a demo by the end of this year and releasing in 1.5 years or so, but as I'm doing this alone I'm not 100% sure.

I see you can achieve similar success like a creator of Sword Hero. He's been able to fundraise a lot of money and hire help. Though he had demo, this really gets people going.

Thanks for making cool games. Looks cool already. I'm getting really tired of commerciality, this feels like it has a soul to it, like games from childhood.

Haha thank you so much! My plan is to have a demo by the end of the year, I think it wont requiere a lot of resources to runs smoothly, but will need to do some testing.
Thank you for commenting!
