A downloadable game for Windows

A City at Dusk is a game of searching, history and wonder. Become a travelling seeker of the arcane: walk the halls of a fallen kingdom; commune with spirits in secret groves; hold a lantern to the faded stone, and piece together the tale of a lightless land forgotten by time.

Gameplay is split between the Map screen and text-based story events. As you travel the game world and resolve events you’ll acquire items, artefacts, stories and knowledge; all of which can be used to unlock further events and opportunities. Other factors such as the passage of time and choices made previously will also affect options available to you.

Note: The current playable build is markedly different to the version I'm currently in development: the playable build is much less mechanically complex, but things like events' style, prose and mood - what I'd consider the "core" of the game - are very much in tune to what I'm aiming for in the finished product.
