    Release: When it’s done.

We’re just two guys who had their first contact with Unity in September 2013 and we’ve been working on this in our free-time since then. At first we simply fooled around to learn everything, but it started to grow so quickly that we decided to make a complete game out of this. It’s going to be an action-adventure type of game with heavy reliance on stealth and probably free2play.
The core gameplay elements are in place, the tutorial and first level are nearly done, complete with AI-controlled undead yet deadly guards. The second level is already under development. We’ve voice-art and music, but there are still a lot of sound effects missing.

I hope you enjoyed this preview. We’re gamers and we create this for gamers, so tell us what you think and what you’d like to see. We’ll do our best to incorporate your feedback.

I’ll also post unity tutorials explaining things we’ve learned while developing this game. You can find the first one about player equipment right here.

Have a good day or night.

You have been waiting. We know you have. There is no need to hide it. Thank the gods it’s over now.

**EDIT:**An improved demo is out. It is now available for Windows and Mac.
Try our demo/beta at NightBox-Studios or IndieDB.

This release contains a completely revamped tutorial that should make the game mechanics easier to understand, as well as level 1 and 2 in beta form. This means everything is playable and hopefully fun, but some sound effects are missing and minor glitches may still occur. Stay tuned for the release version with the final level, which will be much bigger and will contain combat against the undead. It will continue to require observant-reactive skills to actually fight them.

Will you be able to get the Artifact Of Gods?
What powers does it hold?

Find out later this year! Meanwhile, we’d be happy to hear feedback from other gamers!

We’re progressing nicely with the title. For the later levels, we’re introducing a combat-mechanic that still requires a skillful and stealthy play-style. Your weapon of choice? A crossbow!

We have a clear schedule, with a release of the full game in

Summer 2014

In the meantime, we have a new demo version, which we believe to be polished enough to be referred to as a proper demo, dropping the beta description.
We hope you agree! Try it on indieDB.
