Throughout our game you'll encounter giant Monsters inspired by Slavic mythology.

Awaken them at your own risk

Dark Queen is set in early 15th century Croatia. Players take on a role of the Crusader on a quest to rescue his beloved from the Dark Queen’s castle.

Inspired by Croatian literature and Slavic folklore, specifically the August Šenoa's The Snake Queen.

I added trampolines into Reap. I guess it's a weird to combine Grim Reaper and Trampolines but whatever, it's fun non the less. #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev

I haven't posted anything in a while so I just wanted to notify you that Reap is coming along very nicely and it will most likely be published next week. Hope you'll like it! :D

We’re also gearing up for a playtest in the near future, and we’ll be looking for dedicated testers directly from our Discord community.

Grim Reaper looked a bit weired when walking and seemed floaty when jumping so I decided that it's time to change his animations #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Reap is going to be released tomorrow (6/16/2019). It will feature 24 levels that reward thoughtful playing, skill and patience.

The Art Behind Dark Queen

In this post we’ll take a look into some of the biggest inspirations that are shaping the world of Dark Queen.

For combat mechanics, we are mostly taking inspiration from God of War and Prince of Persia The Lost Crown.
