Pithead Unveils Cralon: A Dark Fantasy Quest Beneath the Earth

Pithead Studio, a team comprised of former developers from the renowned RPG studio Piranha Bytes (creators of Gothic and Risen), presents their debut game: Cralon. This dark fantasy RPG casts players as Claron the Brave, a hero on a quest for vengeance against a malevolent demon that destroyed his home.

Claron's journey takes him deep into a vast, subterranean network of tunnels, a labyrinthine world that serves as the game's central location. This sprawling underground maze is filled with secrets waiting to be discovered, driving the core gameplay experience. A captivating story unfolds, punctuated by unexpected twists and turns, further enriched by optional side quests that delve deeper into the game's rich lore. Players will encounter a diverse cast of characters, from helpful allies to formidable foes that stand in their way.

Cralon features a meticulously crafted world, seamlessly connecting distinct areas with visually stunning environments. Dynamic dialogue systems react to player choices, and a comprehensive skill tree allows for unique character builds, ensuring every playthrough feels personal and engaging. Resource gathering for crafting, challenging puzzles, and the deciphering of ancient texts all play a crucial role in uncovering the dungeon's hidden history.

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