IntroductionHi! My name is Max, and I’m the lead developer of this game.I’m a Unity programmer with over 6 years of experience in this field, and I really love games with strong storylines and deep concepts. Simply put, this game is my dream project - one I finally decided to attempt thanks to an incredibly powerful sense of inspiration and the support of my dear wife, family and friends.It is based on a real D&D campaign I ran as a Dungeon Master. Having left an indelible mark on my heart, it lingered in my mind for a long time, eventually taking shape as a video game that you can see here
