Grave Knight

Grave Knight is a dark fantasy RPG adventure presented as a visual novel, inspired by the SRD 5.1 ruleset, tabletop role-playing games and classic gamebooks. You make choices, develop a character and roll dice as you confront the Grave Knight and his horde. Your decisions shape the characters’ fates and the story’s outcome.

Choices and dice

Branching decisions determine which paths open, who survives and how the story ends. You can save someone or leave them behind, fight a monster or try to talk your way out, and take a safe road or risk a greater reward. Some opportunities require particular abilities, and even the right choice may leave the outcome to a dice roll. Failure can lead to a new story rather than simply ending it.

Character development

You can choose from three playable classes and develop your character throughout the journey. Attributes affect the options available in conversations, exploration and dangerous encounters: strength can help solve problems through force, while cleverness can reveal other paths. The game includes character evolution as an RPG element.

The realm

You travel dangerous roads, haunted forests, forgotten ruins and hostile camps as the Grave Knight’s influence spreads across the realm. Along the way, you meet travelers, monsters, witches and other survivors, including kobolds, trolls and goblins. You decide whom to trust, discover items, spells and rewards, and try to keep your companions alive long enough to face what awaits.
