Synopsis:
Once upon a time, there was a poor boy named Hans who lived with his mother near the woods. On his birthday, the boy had no presents nor sweets. He got so upset he decided to leave home for good. Before he left, his mother gave him his grandfather's cane, some cheese and three pieces of gold. Hans walked into the forest in search of adventure. Soon it was night and the boy was really scared, so he tried to go back. But then, a quaint kobold happened to cross his path and Hans decided to follow him to a castle. The kobold told him he would inherit great wealth if he passed a simple trial... guessing his name. Trapped in the castle, Hans will live a spooky mystery, fantasy and horror adventure to become the new Count Lucanor.

    1. It's complex to say, but I think 13 years is a good age.

  5. I was wondering if this game is linked in some way to the spanish book "The Count Lucanor". I have not played it, I'm thinking about buying it, but I would like to know if the book and this game are linked in some point. Thanks :).

  6. Hi, there are some small connections between them. But this game is not a adaptation of the book. Today the game will be at -35% by the way ;)

  11. Hi! I'm a proud spanish player, and i like your game too much! But I've found some kind of "bug" (PS4 physical version) that suddenly crashes the game at random points and turns the savegame files corrupted, after having some frequent lags. I've found that this kind of crashes occur more frequently time after you save your game at the central fountain. I mean, the more times you save, the more probabilities of crashing the game. It makes it almost impossible to reach the end, as i need to restart the game from the beginning each time my data get corrupted.
    Would it be any possible solution or fixing for this issue?

    Thanks so much, @Baroque Decay.

  12. Hello !
    Puisqu'il y a un français dans l'équipe je vais plutôt utiliser cette langue, étant française aussi ^^

    J'avais hésité à prendre le jeu mais il m'attirait trop pour que je ne profite pas d'une réduction sur le Nintendo store pour l'acheter. Et je ne regrette pas, c'est vraiment un jeu hyper bien pensé ^^
    Du coup j'ai fini le jeu en étant super sympa et je vais le recommencer en étant une grosse radine pour voir si j'ai une fin totalement différente. Mais j'ai l'impression que les différentes fins sont plus subtiles, non ? Genre si on ne donne pas de pommes à l'âne on ne le retrouvera pas devant la maison à la fin. A part bien sûr le choix de fin, ce qui nous fait du coup 2 fins différentes. ^^ J'ai raison ?
    Ah et sinon apparemment il y a un OST ? Il y aurait moyen de le récupérer sur Switch ? T_T

  14. Your game clashes at the end in the PS4 version ....just so you feel ashamed of selling games in this condition...never again buying games from your company.

  15. I have this game from Origin. At the very beginning the game jams after collecting bread from the table in the mother's hut. In general, the game often jams. I have the impression that it has something to do with the Steam achievements.
