About A Knight Never Yields


A Knight Never Yields is a 3D fantasy platformer where blindness takes the center stage. First you pass each level with your vision intact - learn placement of the traps and what you have to do to beat them. Then the real task begin - finish the same level with same traps completely blinded.

Use your memory and your hearing - every level has it's own distinct music and rhythm that will guide you and warn you about upcoming dangers. Listen, focus and be prepared to fail. Many, many times. Afterall, you are going into this game without a sense you rely on the most in your life.
  • Unique gameplay that takes your vision away - finish each level blinded
  • Use your hearing, sense of rthythm and memory to progress in the game
  • Acquire new skills to overcome deadly traps
  • Push through 17 handcrafted levels
  • Follow a personal story in a world that is not what it seems
  • Gain mastery and unlock achievements that reward precise playstyle
  • Realised vision of a single creator responsible for the whole game

The castle is an old ruin, older than anyone remembers. It had many owners in the past, now it houses Order of a Blind Knights, mysterious group tasked with fighting Eternal Darkness. The many still functioning traps and contraptions are perfect for training new apprentices.

Beacuse of that, each level poses danger that is difficult to overcome by itself - double so when you have to do it blinded. Luckily, you can count on several things to help you. Using your memory you can learn and remember placement of all traps. Listening to the music and sounds of the castle warns you about incoming danger. Pulsing metronome helps you with rhythm of every level. Yes - every level has it's rhythm and it is the key to finishing the level.

You are put into shoes (and armor) of a young apprentice simply called The Kid. He is the one going through all the dangers, trapping and trials of an old and crumbling castle. The think is, he doesn't remember how he got there. He didn't lose his memories, he just... doesn't know where he came from and how he ended up in this strange place.

He meets an unlikely patron - a mysterious shrouded man takes him under his protection and guides him on his path. He talks about Eternal Darkness, Order of Blind Knights and inescapable destiny calling. The Kid is unsure and confused - in fact, he is sure he doesn't want any of this. But it dawns on him there might be no other choice...

A Knight Never Yields follows a story of bravery, discovery and acceptance in a world that might be not what it seems at a first glance. It's up to you to discover it's secret.

A little bit too much to take at once but it grows on you! Needs time to get stuff automated and be able to go with the flow, but flow is definitely there! Beautiful graphics. To update (IMHO): CTRL? CTRL?!! CTRL is tough to press! Make it shift. Or better yet - make it bindable! Actually being able to use the right hand would help me a lot - arrows perhaps? Or even right hand as the main + left hand for the combo moves. Having to click on the dialogues with mouse is so "immersion-breaking". After the first mouse click ENTER works but the first one, oh the first one is annoying. The timing - dear dev, give our brain a chance! - even not blinded I end up falling on the spikes. I think it should be BANG > 0.2 seconds > action for the perfect run. Nonetheless, interesting take for sure! Will be happy to see what else is coming.

why i buy this game if there is similar games and better than this game for free on mobile. blind mod is ruin the whole game because the music faster than gameplay. if you beat normal stage you have to repeat the same stage but with blind mod . about the story it's short text story. so i recommend go play sonic rush or subway it's free and better

cool design. Interesting to play. Mechanics not hard to remember. Good game to kill some time just to have fun. I love this types of game where your actions bind to game's music. Some minuses: 1. Sad doesn't support gamepad(or i can't find where to enable it). 2. Not many challenges. I want more, much more) 3. Dialog window small, and white text to hard to read. Actualy that's all for now. Anyway it was fun to play and i don't regret for spending money. GJ!

Pretty nice game for a one man studio. Has inovative gameplay mechanic, to describe it without spoiling too much, I only say that you must feel the rythm :) I already finished the game, but its catchy. Looking forward to return and try to finish all trials on single try.

If you thought Mario was a challenge then you need to play this great little 3D game as it will have you running a course and then repeating the course BLIND! It will make you loose your mind!
