About The Last Winter Knight
You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now possess.
As you explore an abandoned castle and piece together your memories, you’ll uncover your tale: A tale of broken promises, regret, and bonds that last beyond death. But your story doesn’t have to die with you.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Wow. Just Wow. I have played myriad of visual novels and interactive fictions on steam with several accounts, on itch.io, on other sites. Well I can't say I have read all of them or claim that since I have never been very interested on the Japanese side which makes a good chunk of the products. Many vn/if hooked me with their story, made me feel emotions. But one of them was always special to me. In my head ranking there was a tier only for that. --Finding Paradise--. Now I am glad to say it does finally have a friend at the top of that list. I won't say anything about the game, I won't try to convince you by saying how good is the story or the art. I just want you to trust me on this. Go blind and live this experience. You won't regret a second you pass in this story.3 found this helpful
When I first picked up The Last Winter Knight, I intended to play it over the next couple weeks as a calming wind down activity before bed... I did this for two nights and proceeded to binge the entire game because I NEEDED to find out what happened to the characters. The game did a great job of portraying lots of morally gray characters and making me care about and empathise with them. Also the game is really good at making me cry ;) If you enjoy beautiful bittersweet stories this game is a strong recommend!1 found this helpful
What a Story! Bought this and planned for it to be a relaxing read when I had some downtime. Little did I know I would be consumed by the world and the tale it has to tell. Such hope, love, regret and pain. This is an amazing game, but it is not for the weak of heart.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
Beautiful art, heartrending storytelling. After getting the true ending I wanted to know so much more. Absolutely recommended.
A somber but hopeful Knight tale. Everything about this game is beautiful the art, music, writing, and storytelling! I love all of the choices and events, I would play a million games like this. I will be be telling everyone I know to play this game!
