What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“At Ghostwhale Games, we're passionate about creating a memorable gaming experience with our new roguelite action co-op, Lindwyrm. As a small and independent studio, Early Access allows us to gather vital feedback from players, helping us refine and improve the game as we work towards the full release in early 2025. This collaborative approach ensures we can deliver the best possible experience with the resources we have, while also building a supportive community around Lindwyrm.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate Lindwyrm will be in Early Access until Spring 2025. With over 17 years of game development experience, we're confident in our timeline and committed to delivering a polished, content-rich game by then.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Lindwyrm is a game of many realms, numerous quests, and epic combat. While these aspects are already present in Early Access, we plan to double the content for the full release. Here are some highlights planned for the full version:

  • New systems: Introducing a high-score-based endless arena where players can test their skills and compete with others.

  • New bosses: Encounter formidable new bosses with unique abilities and strategies, adding fresh challenges to your adventures.

  • New monsters: Face a variety of new monsters based on German and European folklore.

  • New quests: Embark on additional quests that delve deeper into Lindwyrm's lore.

  • New skills: Unlock and master new skills, expanding your hero's capabilities and allowing for more diverse and dynamic combat strategies.

  • New dungeons: Explore entirely new dungeon settings filled with deadly traps, hidden secrets.

  • Feedback: We deeply value our community's feedback and incorporate new features and content based on their suggestions and needs.

  • Optimizations: We will work on performance and graphic enhancements to ensure a smoother and more visually appealing gaming experience.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version of Lindwyrm offers a fully enjoyable game loop, including cooperative play and half of the main bosses. However, players should expect some bugs and areas where visuals and gameplay will be improved over time. We're committed to continuous updates and enhancements based on player feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We aim to keep Lindwyrm affordable and accessible to a broad audience. While there might be a slight price increase upon full release, we advise interested players to purchase during Early Access to save a few bucks and become active members of our community. Your support now helps us shape the final game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community involvement is a cornerstone of our development philosophy. With over a decade of experience in live service games, we value open communication and collaboration with our players. We actively engage with our community on Discord, social media, and through live streams on Twitch. Player feedback, ideas, and criticism are crucial to our process, and we strive to maintain a close, respectful relationship with our players to ensure Lindwyrm evolves in a way that meets their expectations.”

About This Game



Lindwyrm merges roguelite action RPG elements with exploration and village building. Explore a vast underground dungeon full of unknown creatures and rebuild a ruined village according to your ideas. Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Lindwyrm, where danger and mystery collide. Engage in epic combat, wielding your sword to unravel enigmas within an intuitive system.

Death's Price

Embark on Lindwyrm's perilous journey where every defeat comes with a cost. Face the consequences of loss as it diminishes your hard-earned loot and gathered materials. Choose your path with care, for in the shadow of death, every decision carries weight. Only the resilient and brave will prevail.

Cooperative Thrills

Team up with friends and explore Lindwyrm's dungeons with cooperative gameplay for up to 4 players. The shared HP pool adds an extra layer of challenge – if one falls, all may perish. Let the group rest in your village, trade materials and loot. Form a strategy, face the unknown, and triumph together.

Flexible Arsenal

Unearth a diverse array of weapons and skills, providing 100% flexibility throughout your Lindwyrm adventure. From swords to mystical staffs, each weapon unlocks a unique set of skills, allowing you to craft your hero's playstyle.

Dungeon Challenges

Lindwyrm's dungeons are more than battlegrounds; they're laced with deadly traps, imposing barricades, and mind-bending puzzles. Conquer treacherous chasms, unlock gates sealed for decades, and navigate swinging axes as you brave the perils.

Town Upgrade

As you explore the depths, support the locals in reconstructing their village. Every advancement contributes to your hero's journey, unlocking new shops, quests, and areas that enrich Lindwyrm's immersive world.

Rune System Mastery

Harness the power of ancient runes to enhance your hero's stats. Lindwyrm's rune system offers customization and improvement, adding strategic depth to your gameplay.

The Ultimate Challenge: Hardcore Mode

Prepare for an adventure tailored to your skill level with Lindwyrm's diverse difficulty modes. Dive into Hardcore Mode for the ultimate test of skill, where character deaths are permanent and every decision carries grave consequences. Once fallen, heroes are lost forever, adding a new level of intensity and challenge to your adventure.

Story Synopsis

Ancient monsters commanded by dragons terrorise the residents of a peaceful village when a travelling hero’s destiny crosses their path to unravel the mysteries of a long-forgotten civilisation. With a strong bond forged under the fires and sweat of a town being rebuild from the ground, the hero will not only become friends with the villagers but learn more about the dark past of this strange world he traversed into. A world, in which each decision made will have impact to not only the hero's quest but the lives of the villagers.
Lindwyrm’s use of German and European creatures and hero tales offer a change from the usual fantasy worlds and will retell the well-known and the forgotten stories.
