Sorcery! Parts 1 and 2 News & Patch Notes

The year is AD 673. Camelot has fallen. Sir Mordred is due to meet Arthur on the fields of Camlann, and Arthur will surely die. Who can keep the dream of Camelot alive? Pendragon is our next step forward in the world of highly-interactive narrative. An epic Arthurian adventure, Pendragon is a strategy board-game that writes its narrative turn-by-turn around your actions you take. Will you step forward courageously, or cautiously retreat? Will you sacrifice one knight to save another? Will you flee, or triumph? Every move you and the enemy makes driven the narrative forward, one instant at a time - and what happens in the narrative unlocks new possibilities in the gameplay. No two games of Pendragon are ever the same, and with a huge cast of characters to find and unlock, each with their own stories to tell, we think it's shaping up to be something really special. You can check out the teaser video on the Steam page, and wishlist if you like what you see! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1240050/Pendragon/

Heaven's Vault uses the same intricate approach to writing and even the same narrative engine as Sorcery! but is our first full 3d game, and it's been 4 years in the making. Spanning the game is an entire ancient hieroglyphic language - you can decipher it via a series of puzzles. Your answers feed into the story - even if you give the wrong answer, the narrative will branch based on your translations. If that sounds interesting, you can wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/774201/Heavens_Vault/

"In the end, rather than being a retro experience harking back to the long-lost days of the choose your own adventure novel, Sorcery! has been pioneering and hugely original. It’s an RPG everyone else in the industry should be playing to see exactly what they should be reaching for, how something with pared down tools and minimalist options for communicating with the player, sets the bar for them to aim for." https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/12/03/best-rpg-2016/
