You
wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the
empty suit of armour you now possess
.
As you explore an abandoned castle and piece together your memories, you’ll uncover your tale: A tale of broken promises, regret, and bonds that last beyond death.
But your story doesn’t have to die with you.

The Last Winter Knight is
100% human made
– mostly by
one
human, a solo developer who painted each frame, recorded and edited every track, typed every line of code and constantly agonised over word choices. Thank you so much for checking out this game and huge labour of love!
A special thank you to the people who helped make this project possible:
Wanpans Armoury
for providing armour foley, playtesting and acting as a consultant for medieval arms, armour and general knowledge. There are many, many breaks from reality in this fantasy game, none of which are their fault.
Cobaye
and
Sammy L.
for playtesting and moral support.
ArcanaXIX
for the haunting cello performances.
n3ur0515 (Neur)
for editing the trailer.
Jason Cura
for additional last-minute audio assistance.
And friends and family and for their support.
