Albric de Mareveil
Guardian of the Law
He holds the capital, the courts and the letter of the law. Serve him and the kingdom keeps its shape. Cross him and the law itself turns on you.
A dark fantasy roguelite RPG
The king is dead. The road is open.
Mareveil has no heir. Two pretenders sharpen their claims while the roads fill with soldiers, pilgrims and worse. You are a knight without a house, a squire at your heel if you will have one, and the Tournament of Mareveil at the end of the road.
Your knight remembers.
On iOS and Android. In English and French.
The Kingdom
Mareveil is breaking
The old king named no heir. Albric de Mareveil holds the capital in the name of the law. Arthyr Montecul raises banners against the capital and calls the throne his own. Between them run the roads, and the roads decide nothing. Knights do.
Arthyr Montecul
Pretender to the Throne
Lord of Montecul, loud in claim and quick to arms. His camps promise a new order and pay in old coin. Ride under his banner or stand in his way; he remembers both.
The Errant
No house. No banner.
You can refuse them both and walk the road for no one. Honor alone decides how that chronicle ends. Two of the game's eight endings belong to those who choose neither side.
Gameplay
Short runs. Long consequences.
Knight is a narrative roguelite RPG. A run lasts about fifteen minutes, the fights are turn based, death is permanent, and what you carry forward is up to you.
The Road
A road that never repeats
Every run draws a new map. Crossroads, shrines, quests, camps and ambushes stand between you and the Tournament of Mareveil, ten to fifteen steps away. The game saves at every one.
The Choices
Choose, and live with it
Spare or strike. Keep the oath or break it. There is no undo and the road does not go backwards. Honor rises and falls, allegiances shift, and Mareveil reads you by your deeds.
The Combat
Turn based, on one stamina bar
Six actions and a bar that empties fast. Strike when there is an opening, guard when there is none, and when your arms grow heavy, recover to buy one breath at a price. Winning is not always the right move.
The Bivouac
A camp that costs
One action at each fire by default, a second when Paille trusts you. Heal, train, pray or talk. You cannot do everything, and the choice you skip remembers that it was skipped.
The Legacy
Your knight remembers
Death ends the knight, not the tale. Choose what survives, carry it into the next run, and walk toward one of eight endings. The kingdom keeps the score even when you are gone.
The Squire
He calls you Sire. He should not.
Paille is the first to offer you his service at the gates, three paces behind, watching. Take him, choose another, or ride alone. A squire is not a tool and not a pet: he is the witness of everything you do on the road, and his trust is a system with teeth.
- CrainteHe flinches when you raise your voice. The camp gives you nothing extra.
- MéfianceHe watches your hands, not your eyes. He answers when spoken to.
- ConfianceHe speaks first. Sometimes he is right.
- RespectHe would follow you into the lists. A second action opens at every camp.
Earn him or lose him. Either way, he remembers.
The Chronicle
What the chronicle keeps
Knight has not launched yet, so there are no store reviews here and we will not invent any. These lines are spoken in the game itself. The kingdom keeps its own record.
“The knight arrived without name or banner.”
Maître Engadin, chronicler of Mareveil
“My lord? If you die, do I take the bag?”
Paille, the squire
“Honour. I admire the concept. It would be more useful if it fed people. The law feeds people.”
Albric de Mareveil, Guardian of the Law
“The throne is a chair. No one should die for a chair. But someone will sit on it.”
Arthyr Montecul, Pretender to the Throne
“Do you know why I laugh, knight? Because if I stop, I hear the dead. And the dead are a poor audience.”
