Pithead Studio, a new venture by former members of the renowned RPG developers Piranha Bytes, known for classics like Gothic and Risen, proudly presents their debut title: Cralon. In this immersive dark fantasy RPG, you step into the boots of Claron the Brave, a warrior driven by a quest for vengeance against the malevolent demon responsible for the destruction of his village.
As Claron's journey progresses, players delve deep into a vast and enigmatic subterranean labyrinth. This sprawling maze serves as the centerpiece of the game, inviting players to explore its depths in search of retribution and a way back to the surface. The labyrinth is not just a backdrop but a living, breathing entity filled with mysteries waiting to be solved.
The narrative of Cralon is a compelling tapestry of twists and turns, enhanced by a variety of optional missions that delve deeper into the game's lore. As you navigate through this dark world, you'll encounter a diverse cast of creatures—some friendly, offering aid, and others hostile, posing significant challenges to your progress.
The game's world is meticulously crafted, featuring seamless transitions between different areas and visually striking zones that captivate the senses. Player choices significantly impact the storyline through dynamic conversations, while a comprehensive skill tree allows for personalized character development. Engaging in crafting, solving complex puzzles, and deciphering ancient scripts are integral to uncovering the secrets hidden within the dungeon.
While Cralon is confirmed for a PC release, the exact launch date remains a closely guarded secret, adding to the game's mystique. Players can look forward to an unforgettable adventure, plunging into the depths of darkness in search of truth and redemption.
