2020 • Idle Adventure Game
Available for PC / MAC / LINUX
on Steam & GOG
An unusual mix of adventure and idle game. In utter loneliness deep below the surface, it’s your task to wait for the awakening of your king… for 400 days.
The game was in development for over 4 years as a passion project by director Anselm Pyta. It was finally released to critical and popular acclaim on March 5th 2020. Among its plentiful award nominations are the IGF Nuovo Award 2020, the Animated Games Award Germany 2019, the Deutscher Computerspielpreis 2020 in 3 categories, the Innovation in Games Award at Ludicious and the Long Feature Award at A MAZE. 2019.
“Every so often a game comes along that is so audacious it reminds me how conventional and pedestrian many of the games that I’ve reviewed — and liked — are by comparison. This level of creativity reinvigorates my expectation of what games can be.”
90/100 – The Washington Post
