Pithead Unveils Cralon: A Dark Fantasy Quest Beneath the Earth

Pithead Studio, a team comprised of former developers from the acclaimed RPG studio Piranha Bytes (creators of Gothic and Risen), unveils their debut game: Cralon. This dark fantasy RPG casts players as Claron the Brave, a hero driven by revenge after a demonic attack destroys his home.

Claron's quest leads him into a vast, subterranean labyrinth, a perilous journey for both vengeance and escape. This intricate maze forms the core gameplay, presenting players with countless secrets to unearth. A captivating storyline filled with unexpected twists and turns awaits, enhanced by optional quests that deepen the game's rich lore. Along the way, players will encounter a diverse cast of characters, from helpful allies to formidable foes.

Cralon features a meticulously crafted world, seamlessly connecting diverse and visually stunning areas. Dynamic dialogue systems react to player choices, while a comprehensive skill tree allows for personalized character development, ensuring each playthrough is unique. Resource gathering, puzzle solving, and the deciphering of ancient texts all play a crucial role in uncovering the dungeon's hidden history.

Currently planned for PC release, Cralon's precise launch date remains undisclosed, but promises an unforgettable descent into a world of shadows and intrigue.
