Cralon is a genuine 3D dungeon crawler with RPG and adventure elements, inspired by the ultimate underworld classics. On the hunt for a demon, you plunge into the shaft of an old mine, trapped in the darkness. In search of a way out, you encounter strange creatures and new friends, solve quests and puzzles, fight the darkness and evil monsters, face your fears and discover the secret of the mine.

Personaly would be interesting to play, if it's like Arx Fatalis

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yeah it has the Arx Fatalis/King's Field vibe.

Leaving this here for an easy wishlist.

Thanks for the heads-up OP!

Honestly, I'm not sure what to think about a Dungeon Crawler from Piranha Bytes ex-employees.
If it turns out good i will be happy.

I want to believe, but at the same time I'm more than a bit wary of jumping on the hype train for a project led by the couple that arguably dragged Piranha Bytes to its ruin.

Yeah, thats true i don't think the original Gothic 2 devs are still there.

That from official site
He worked for over 24 years as a creative director, game designer, author and composer on the role-playing series Gothic, Risen and ELEX.

So maybe he was involved in Gothic 2 already

Wishing them the best of luck.

Concept seems cool.

HE is one of the co-founders of Piranha Bytes, but that's not the problem.
The problem is that his decisions and his leadership in the last few years, specifically, are often pointed as the ones that dragged the entire studio on a slippery slope of declining quality until they had to declare bankruptcy few months ago.
The story goes that after Mike Hoge left the studio to explore other options and left him in charge (which for context was around the end development of Risen 1) things started to go south pretty quickly at PB.

The daft name for this alone has the stink of Bjorn all over it.

But yeah, with Hoge and Kai leaving you could feel the shift immediately with PB titles.

 

[a'la mode]

New game from ex-PB devs? That's sick, I wond--

...oh.

It's the Pankratzes.

Hard pass.

The OST reminds me Harry Gregson-Williams' MGS2 soundtrack.

I think I'm interested. Thanks for heads up, OP, the game seems legit cool. Love dungeon crawlers.
