Nightsong
A downloadable game
Can a bard save an entire village with just one spell? Well, Linda will try!
In Nightsong you play Linda Nightsong, a level 0 bard, with great fishing skills, and some magical knowledge. When a series of mysterious attacks strikes a riverside village, Linda and her friend Uzoma come to the rescue, and must save all the villagers before dark! To fend off the bewitched creatures, you must use the power of your magic tambourine to put the creatures to sleep and continue your quest.
This is a 30-minutes platform where you need to save all villagers before the time up. With several routes, you must carefully explore Anhuma village, using safe routes, avoiding traps, and avoiding creatures as much as possible, putting them to sleep.
What to do in Ahuma village?
Well, you must save your villagers! You don't have much time, and the monsters get more ferocious as the night approaches. However, Linda can use her fishing skills to catch some fish that give her special advantages and help her in her quest. Fish can heal you, paralyze your enemies or increase your speed.

Utilizing the only magic Linda knows, you must explore the village of Ahuma, numbing enemies along the way while searching for prisoners.

Alright, here after having been deferred in your response to my feedback on The Final Day. This looks interesting.
I've not gotten into the games with heavy hack and slash, and want to restart gaming with a clean slate, or begin to. This looks fresh enough for it; a game where fighting looks like it's about more than just fighting.
I'm in no position to go buying a new wave of games to try - yet - but consider me along for the ride and curiosity-piqued, at least starting now.
Hi Ryarod! The game will be free to play, don't worry. It is scheduled for release on the 07/01.The idea is really to bring a quick adventure without being a "massive combat". We really hope you like it.
