Inspired by fantasy fiction of yesteryear and pad-snappingly tough examples from the “Souls-like” genre, the British developer’s new release - only its second video game to date - hopes to capture the same murky worlds, engaging characters, and tense, hyper-combative gameplay of its contemporaries, transitioned to an anthropomorphic storybook universe.

His father slain, his kingdom in aflame, his family missing, and his people in panic.
