Pithead Launches Cralon: An Underground Dark Fantasy Adventure

Pithead Studio, a new venture by former members of the acclaimed RPG developer Piranha Bytes, renowned for Gothic and Risen, proudly presents their debut game: Cralon. In this immersive dark fantasy RPG, you step into the boots of Claron the Brave, a warrior driven by a quest for vengeance against a malevolent demon that obliterated his village.

Embark on a journey deep into an expansive underground labyrinth, where Claron seeks not only to avenge his lost home but also to find a way back to the surface. This sprawling maze serves as the centerpiece of the gameplay, inviting players to delve into a world brimming with secrets and enigmas. The narrative unfolds with thrilling twists and turns, enhanced by optional side quests that deepen the game's lore. Throughout your adventure, you'll encounter a diverse cast of creatures, from helpful allies to fearsome foes that stand in your way.

Cralon boasts a meticulously crafted world, featuring seamless transitions between areas and visually striking zones. Player choices significantly influence the storyline through dynamic conversations, while a comprehensive skill tree allows for personalized character development. The game also emphasizes exploration and discovery, with activities like crafting, solving complex puzzles, and deciphering ancient manuscripts all playing crucial roles in uncovering the dungeon's hidden secrets.

Scheduled for release on PC, Cralon keeps its exact launch date under wraps, maintaining an air of mystery. Yet, it promises to offer players an unparalleled journey into the depths of darkness, filled with unforgettable experiences and challenges.
