Pithead Studio, founded by former members of iconic RPG creator Piranha Bytes (known for Gothic and Risen series), unveils their debut project: Cralon. This grimdark roleplaying adventure casts players as the determined warrior Claron, embarking on a quest to destroy the demonic force responsible for annihilating his home.
What begins as a revenge mission quickly spirals into an underground odyssey as Claron navigates an ever-shifting subterranean complex. The intricate cave system forms the core gameplay experience - a living maze teeming with hidden paths and buried secrets. The narrative weaves a tense, unpredictable tale enhanced by optional side quests that flesh out the world's mythology, populated by bizarre creatures that might aid or obstruct the protagonist.
Cralon features meticulously crafted environments with seamless area transitions, each boasting unique visual identities. Player choices dynamically shape dialogue interactions, while an extensive progression system guarantees distinct playthroughs. Gathering materials, cracking elaborate puzzles, and interpreting cryptic inscriptions all play crucial roles in peeling back the dungeon's deepest mysteries.
Targeting PC platforms for now, Cralon maintains an air of secrecy around its precise release schedule, but pledges to offer a profoundly memorable plunge into shadow-choked depths.
