Unravel the sordid secrets of the castle, meet colorful characters, and remember: horror always lurks beneath the surface.

With a retro, halfway-between-8-and-16-bit style and inspired by classic games like The Legend of Zelda, Yume Nikki, Silent Hill or Dark Souls, among others, The Count Lucanor is an amazing mystery and horror adventure set in a fairytale world. The game features important choices, alternative endings, secrets and different ways to solve puzzles. The title is in development for PC, Mac and Linux.

Once upon a time, there was a poor boy named Hans who lived with his mother near the woods. On his birthday, the boy had no presents nor sweets. He got so upset he decided to leave home for good. Before he left, his mother gave him his grandfather's cane, some cheese and three pieces of gold. Hans walked into the forest in search of adventure. Soon it was night and the boy was really scared, so he tried to go back. But then, a quaint kobold happened to cross his path and Hans decided to follow him to a castle. The kobold told him he would inherit great wealth if he passed a simple trial... guessing his name. Trapped in the castle, Hans will live a spooky mystery, fantasy and horror adventure to become the new Count Lucanor.

We’ve hired the greatest composer of all time - Johann Sebastian Bach - to create a soundtrack that will remain etched in your mind forever. Using chiptune tools, we’ve transformed a series of hidden gems of the author to create unique soundscapes for our tale.

✦ AI summary

The Count Lucanor is praised for its strong design, atmosphere, engaging story, and art style, with players appreciating its focused experience that respects their time, though opinions on the limited save system are mixed and some wish for a sprint button or longer playtime. Most players find it a well-crafted, unique game worth experiencing, particularly for those who enjoyed the developer's other work like Yuppie Psycho.

Already loved Yuppie Psycho so I decided to give this one a try. Very engaging and fun story with a wonderful art style! Really wish there was a sprint button, especially when going for alternate endings and achievements.

Very fun little game, everything here feels *just right* when it comes to what it's trying to do as a game. Typically speaking I hate limited save systems in games but here it really didn't bother me much at all, I ended up having plenty of saves left and I used them pretty liberally there towards the end. So that should give you an idea of how well crafted this game is. While I wouldn't say this is one of the best games I've ever played or anything like that, I do think its a great game that doesn't waste your time with tedious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and has some really interesting story moments depending on how you play. Really looking forward to playing their next games.
