A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

In a hostile realm, a hero longs for vengeance

The adventure takes place in a foreign fantasy kingdom ruled by a mysterious entity that usurped the throne of the previous legitimate king. His reign makes the life of the subjects a living hell, taxing them and requiring people to work more and more. In addition, many children were taken from their homes and families to be trained in his army.

A dark and mysterious entity, the Dark Unknown, has taken control of the Kingdom and has set his powerful minions to scare the populous... all except for a young boy, named Legolas, who is willing to restore peace and order in the kingdom. Along his path, our hero will face and defeat powerful enemies to reach his goal.

How to play:

Disclaimer: to direct the player you have to use the mouse pointer, he will face the direction of your mouse!

This demo includes 3 levels, each of 5 rooms, where Legolas will face several undead created by the black magic of the Dark Unknown.

In each room, all the enemies must be defeated to unlock the 3 doors allowing the player to continue his adventure. Above each door, an icon gives a hint on which reward can be obtained in the room behind that door, so the player has to choose carefully. But remember: the reward will spawn only when all enemies are defeated!

So, what are you waiting for? Choose your melee or ranged weapon, upgrade your stats and use wisely the environment to slay your enemies in Dark Unknown.
