No Gravity Games have announced the Early Access release date for developer RedEmber’s sneak-and-slash RPG Good Night, Knight.
As stated in the press release, the game takes place in a world where the hero has seemingly saved the world, only fall from the top of a giant tower in the underworld. Now you must climb it to regain your memories.
Described as a “sneak-and-slash RPG,” the game combines procedural generation, puzzles, and a dark yet funny story. Players must use stealth, manage stamina and items, and maximize their field of view to deal powerful blows to foes. Or just slash your way through in a frenzy.
Players can rest up, or continue to push forward for more rewards, as well as enabling challenge modifiers for even more. While there is no permadeath, there is also an optional ironman mode. Good Night, Knight enters Early Access on February 16th for Windows PC (via GOG, and Steam).
