Judero

Judero is an action-adventure game inspired by the folk history of the Scottish Borders. You play as Judero, a Celt who can form a rapport with the surrounding nature. As you travel through a handcrafted landscape, you uncover an evil manipulating the unguarded.

Combat and abilities

You strike and dodge through groups of foes, culminating in boss challenges. You can also possess lesser creatures, taking on their forms to gain abilities and using the enchanted minions in combat and to solve puzzles.

Stories and discoveries

Branching dialogue and aphoristic characters reveal the world through conversations. As you explore, you can find collectibles, pick-ups, secrets and discoveries, as well as optional storylines. The journey also includes mini-games with varied mechanics and visual styles; these change the pace and explore other narrative tangents.

Art and music

The game’s visuals combine handcrafted objects and bespoke figurines, animated in the stop-motion tradition and rendered in a 3D world. Its cutscenes use traditional stop-motion animation. The music draws on traditional British folk songs, including those documented by Francis James Child, with mostly acoustic instrumentation, largely authentic to the originals, and contemporary arrangements and harmonies.
