Pithead Studio, a new venture by former members of the acclaimed RPG developer Piranha Bytes, known for the Gothic and Risen series, proudly presents their debut title: Cralon. In this immersive dark fantasy RPG, players step into the shoes of Claron the Brave, a determined hero driven by a quest for vengeance against a malevolent demon that obliterated his village.
As the story progresses, Claron ventures deep into a vast underground labyrinth, seeking not only retribution but also a way back to the world above. This expansive subterranean maze serves as the core of the gameplay, teeming with secrets waiting to be discovered. Players will find themselves engrossed in a compelling narrative full of unexpected twists, enhanced by side quests that deepen the game's rich lore. Throughout their journey, they'll meet a diverse array of creatures—some willing to aid in their quest, others formidable foes standing in their way.
Cralon's world is meticulously crafted, featuring seamless transitions between different areas and visually striking environments. The game's dynamic dialogue system, influenced by player choices, along with an extensive skill tree, ensures that each player's experience is unique. Engaging in crafting, solving complex puzzles, and interpreting ancient manuscripts are all integral to uncovering the dungeon's deepest secrets.
Scheduled for release on PC, the exact launch date of Cralon remains under wraps, adding to its air of mystery. However, it promises to offer players an unforgettable plunge into the depths of darkness.
