The Writ

The Writ is a hack-and-slash game about a trusted warrior sent by the King of the World of Brightness into the hostile World of Darkness. The King issues The Writ after hearing reports of growing unrest and ominous signs, fearing an imminent invasion. Your orders are to cross into the shadowy realm and eliminate the threat at its source.

The mission

You accept the King's command and fight your way deeper into the World of Darkness. Along the way, you encounter things The Writ did not prepare you for and begin to question whether the mission is more than simply following orders. You must uncover the truth behind the King's decree and the real nature of the enemy.

Combat and choices

You use melee weapons and combat techniques against relentless enemies, while puzzles challenge you to navigate the realm and uncover hidden paths and secrets. Moral choices affect your journey and the story's ultimate outcome.
