Denizens of Darkwind DEMO
A downloadable game for Windows
please comment with bugs you encounter as well as feedback. this is a brand new project and we are trying to get it as clean as possible before going forward with development. We are also in the process of getting a Nintendo Switch port so the bug tests are super important. I'm sure there are plenty of issues in this demo that need to be addressed. Please report! thank you so much!
A Gamepad controller is highly recommended.
Inspired by early MS-DOS/C64 adventure games and combined with an old school console feel. A hybrid text/graphical adventure, zelda style combat, metroid-vania style exploration with RPG elements. The difficulty can be classified as laid back/casual. Only available for Windows.
Controls:
gamepad controller recommended - Playstation and XBOX format controllers are supported.
A (or spacebar)- interract, select and use item; B-Sword Attack; X-Use Magic; Y-access inventory Start button or F5 to restart. note: There is only 1 save file. Restarting and saving will overwrite previous saved game
to use an item, select from inventory. You will see the name of the item on the gameplay HUD. To use the item press A in the proper location. Controls are still being worked on.
Darkwind uses a custom 16 color palette and is in a screen resolution of 160x144 with 16x16 tiles.

Hello! Left a comment on your Starcaller game. Man, you guys make the COOLEST RPGs!! So impressed with the trio of games, truly! I hope you will update Starcaller, that one has incredible potential too! I currently have a Myrkvidr Let's Play on my YouTube as well, love that one! Will give this one a download too but I usually only play on full release. Looking very forward to more!!
oh thanks so much. i will check out your youtube thing. i havnt seen anyone play that yet. a few people have completed it but its a long haul haha. hope you enjoy
thanks for playing. i love watching your videos. fyi. you are playing Myrkvidr in hardcore mode. not using the tent to rest. 1 tent is all you need for the whole game. just use it whenever you need to rest LOL i hope to see you get to the end. it gets wild
This game is so cool! I did get stuck after getting the sword though. I tried to go into the big building but it wouldn't let me go because I didn't have a light source, which I couldn't find. Any hints?
that ones a little abstract and easy to miss. thinking about putting a better hint in there somewhere. theres a hidden path you need to slash the vines with your sword to find it
Ahh ok, I will try again, thanks!
thanks for pointing that out. this kind of feedback will help make a better experience. i actually uploaded a new build with some changes
