About This Demo

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.

The Last Winter Knight is an atmospheric Gothic visual novel.

The demo features:

• Roughly 40 mins - 1 hour playtime

• One (and a half) endings

• A melancholy story where you play as a ghostly knight haunting a suit of armour.

• Point and click segments that let you explore a lonely castle.*

• Hand drawn artwork that captures a dark fairy tale feel.

• A pensive piano soundtrack that subtly shifts depending on where and what you examine.

*Accessibility note: Instead of clicking, you can hover over objects and hit -Enter- to interact with them. Text can be advanced with -Space-

The Last Winter Knight is 100% human made and crafted with love by a solo developer who painted each frame, recorded and edited every track, typed every line of code and constantly agonised over word choices. Thank you so much for checking out this game and huge labour of love! 

A special thank you to the people who helped make this project possible:

Wanpans Armoury for providing armour foley, playtesting and acting as a consultant for medieval arms, armour and general knowledge. There are many, many breaks from reality in this fantasy game, none of which are their fault. 

Cobaye and Sammy L. for playtesting and moral support. 

ArcanaXIX for the haunting cello performances.

n3ur0515 (Neur) for editing the trailer. 

And friends and family for their support.
