The story takes place before the events from Alder's Blood and changes the perspective from Chief of the Hunters - to a commoner, named Charles.
Charles, as everyone else in this cruel world, is struggling to stay alive. Daring his luck, out of bravery or desperation - he aims for a quick buck and attempts to hunt the spawns of darkness. If he'll survive - income from reselling the remains of the beasts will secure his livelihood for weeks to come.
What he is not aware of, is how his story will soon unfold and his life... changed forever.
In the world ruled by misery and humanity rotting in shadow of God's dead carcass - death, becomes mercy.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Really short (as the description says) but its OK to get a feel for the art-style, animations and basic gameplay.
I am interested so far but have to admit there really isn't much to go by.
Ok, so this little prequel has grabbed my undivided attention. I played it this morning and I have to say that the mechanics are smooth and reasonable. The management of energy combined with stealth and movement feel really fine tuned.
The artwork is fantastic. It works so well with the overall theme, which it H.P. Lovecraft-ish. They really hit the nail on the head with it. What little of the atmosphere is experienced here is great.
The creatures encountered are interesting and make me want to see what the full game has to offer.
I was legit sad when the "demo" ended...
Bottom line? I'm going to save up some money to get the full game. Hopefully it goes on sale again, but this may make my list of "It's worth it at full price" titles. (I've actually bought some games at full price on GOG... I'm very careful about that, but when I do it's for a reason. And I have yet to be disappointed. That's partially because I know myself real well and know what I enjoy playing.)
Alders Blood is going on my wish-list.
This is basically a demo for the main game Alder's Blood.
It is free and very short (<30 mins) so try it by yourself rather than reading experience of someone else. It is worth it.
I really enjoy this kind of tactical games, and i like the art style and atmosphere. A bit confused about some game mechanics though, but as the developers state themselves, it's not supposed to be a real demo. The game is now on my wishlist!
What keeps me from giving five stars may or may not be the developers fault, but i can't find a way to turn off the achievement notifications and i hate them, they ruin the atmosphere, they're more annoying than the mice under my sink digging through my garbage, pooping in my kitchenware and making noise when i try to sleep. I don't wanna install and play my games outside the client just to avoid being annoyed to insanity. Isn't a clean experience somehow part of the drm-free concept?
