Black Fox - Chapter 1
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
📝 Description
Play as Halafarin, a young trainee striving to prove his worth and earn his place among the elite covert force known as the Black Foxes. But destiny doesn’t wait.
Your journey begins amidst chaos — the town of Shadowbourne is under sudden assault by the savage Kral, and your initiation becomes a desperate fight for survival. With danger closing in and the stakes impossibly high, you must escape the burning ruins and deliver a dire warning to the capital of Freystorm.
Will you stay sharp, think fast, and make the right choices? Or will the world crumble around you due to misplaced trust or a single careless step?
⚔️ Features
- 🧭 Branching Narrative: Your decisions matter — who you trust, what you carry, and where you turn can change everything.
- 🗡️ Fantasy Survival Mechanics: Manage your health, inventory, and allies. Make smart choices to stay alive.
- 🌒 Dark Medieval World: Explore ancient ruins, haunted forests, and war-torn villages drawn in an immersive fantasy style.
- 📜 Deep Storytelling: Engage with a rich cast of characters and unravel mysteries through visual novel storytelling and RPG elements.
🧙♂️ Will you survive the path to Freystorm?
Halafarin’s mission is simple: warn Mutraec before the Kral reach the capital. But between you and safety lies a treacherous world filled with betrayal, strange magic, and dark secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Choose wisely. The fate of the kingdom depends on it.
