Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey, developed by Salix Games Ltd and Tea Clipper Games Ltd and published by Salix Games Ltd, is a narrative-driven adventure that boldly intertwines Arthurian legend with one of Victorian London’s darkest chapters. Set during the infamous Whitechapel murders of 1888, the game reimagines Sir Lancelot Du Lac and Morgana le Fey as immortal investigators drawn into the mystery of Jack the Ripper. This unusual pairing of mythological figures and historical crime gives the title a distinctive identity, framing its central investigation through the lens of supernatural longevity and moral reckoning. The narrative is the game’s strongest asset. London is presented as a grim and atmospheric city marked by poverty, fear, and tension. The developers clearly invested effort in recreating the tone of late 19th-century Whitechapel, grounding the story in real historical context while weaving in fantastical elements. Du Lac, burdened by centuries of guilt and exile, contrasts sharply with Fey, whose sardonic wit and unconventional form—transformed into a dog—offer both narrative novelty and investigative advantages.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I absoluttely loved this game what a story , loved Fey to bits was sorry poor Mary was killed though,normally i probably wouldnt have wven looked at this type of game ,was finding it hard to come accross anything i was interested in , found this one by accident . Its now TOP of my list thats for sure I will recomend this game to everybody to play its well worth playing .

A wonderful game,the character relationships between our 3 protags especially was great. I really liked the discussion of the co-opting of "chivalry" from the Victorian class impresssive. Also any piece of art that gives props to Alan Moore is a thumbs up in my book

The overall concept and story starts out promising, but it falters as a consequence of a lack of foreshadowing, which in turn leads into twists no one could see coming because there was no REASON to see them coming, a player character who's destined to die, a whackload of incomplete graphic design and general visual and audio bugs, and committing the cardinal sin of sequel-baiting.

This game lets you become acquainted with the women killed by Jack the Ripper, not as victims but as people, which is amazing in itself. Add to that a dynamic duo of flawed and charming protagonists, with centuries of push-and-pull partnership, and a root in Arthurian legend, and you have a story unlike any other. The game's progress is logical, through mini-puzzles and dialogue trees, and though the mechanics of movement were sometimes a little awkward, the spooky atmosphere of late C19 East London is worth it. I loved this game.
