About Assassin at Crimson Keep

After a botched assassination attempt, you pursue the King into his lair known as the Crimson Keep. Your small choices can have great consequences, either for good or for evil.

  • Twice as much dialogue and descriptions added!
  • Two new areas to discover
  • New characters and interactions which can affect characters from 1.0
  • New traps (which means new ways to die!)
  • Reworked art (most notably in the Intro Movie)
  • Minor rework on the All Business ending to make it more rewarding


Key Features:


  • Seven Different Endings (not including Game Overs)
  • 15-30 minutes per run-through (subject to speed of reader)

A small but very nice game. The art style is cohesive and very pleasant to look at, it's grimyness creating a wonderful contrast with the surprisingly light hearted nature of the story. The choices really do have an impact on the ending and I loved hunting every single ending there was to be found. Like any good game, I only wish there was more

Good job. I like it. I mean its short... I wouldn't say its a GAME game. Maybe could've been a prologue to something. If I may be so bold to suggest an example for any future games being made; The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav is a good reference going forward. Make a longer one next time, its got potential. Keep working. Keep it up. Cool design. Cool game.

Short but fun! Reminded me of good old flash games. Great art! Enjoyed the story and the comedic twists.

Cute game, got it on sale (because broke student) and it was worth all of my 90 minutes. Getting all different endings was a lot of fun, the eldritch one took me the longest :) I got pretty much what I expected from this game (I didn't use the skip function so idk about that) and can recommend it for a brief, adventurous, fantasy-world story.

Game was fun, but short, loved the art. Make more games like this and I will buy them.
