• Update: Spring 2025 - 9 March 2025

  Oh yeah, look who's back! Alive and... breathing, at least. This update is focused on some little improvements of things that are already present in the game and, of course, on some bug fixes which were discovered in past months. General Keybinding restriction removal Removed the restriction which limited the controls mapping onto the mouse and keyboard inputs. The input manager in settings should now be able to recognize pretty much every input which is supported by used game engine version. So, theoretically speaking, the joysticks and other types of hand controllers could be now compatible, but I was not able to manually test this. Chapter transitions and automatic game saves Fixed an error in configuration which was sometimes causing wrong transitions between chapters - mainly affecting Chapters 3 and 4. If player skips the chapter prolog via keyboard shortcut, it no longer causes u…

• Major update: Spring 2024 - 19 February 2024

  It is this time of the year when Knightczech developer spontaneously rolls out new update, so, here are the main changes you should know about. Enjoy! And of course, if you encounter some new bugs or unnatural things, please let me know via comment section on this post or via my support mail. Thank you! General (QoL features) Settings Adjusted camera zoom settings slider in Settings - Preferences tab. Added "+" and "-" symbols so players can see if they increased or decreased the camera zoom. Settings button in main menu of the game recieved text description because apparently some players did not know where the settings button is located. Novice difficulty changes Both story mode and classic mode recieved more tweaking in terms of enemy spawns, trap activation and terrain adjustments. Every area of classic and story mode should be (once again) easier to complete when Novice game diffic…

• Major update: Summer 2023 - 10 August 2023

  Hotfix for this update is out now. Shopkeeper bug in Story mode tutorial area was resolved General (QoL features) Camera zoom Added new settings into preferences tab. Players can now adjust ingame camera zoom by maximum of +/- 20 percent. Novice difficulty changes Double jump is now always active in both classic and story mode while the novice setting is turned on When you start new story mode journey, you can grab an upgraded helmet to gain bonus stats right away Added new visual indicators at the start of the story mode for better navigation of new players Added low stamina indication Once you drain your stamina to critical values, new visual and sound indication will be set off to notify you. (Previously, it was harder to notice that player will run out of stamina which led to situations where player died without knowing what killed him.) Cheat settings I also added cheat settings wh…

• Update 0.7.2 - 25 June 2023

  General changes: "Skipping first sentence" bug fixed (again) The bug where first sentence from dialogue was skipped after starting the dialogue with "Confirm" key instead of user iterface icon was (hopefully) fixed for good. This bug presisted through several updates although it seemed to be fixed in the past. Story mode changes: Added permanent death screen translation The permanent death screen which indicates the end of the journey once the player dies too many times was properly translated to czech language (it was english only before). Added more save slots Previously, players were able to save their story mode progress to just one and only save slot (Once you saved the game your previous save was overridden). The story mode save function now offers 3 save slots total - default save slot and 2 custom save slots. Players can save their progress to each of those 3 save slots via new…

• Update 0.7.0 & Price change - 16 January 2023

  Important for everyone who wants to buy this game after 15th of January, 2023: The game status will probably change from paid to free to play next month. The exact date of change is not determined yet, but everybody who still wants to buy this game should wait for couple of weeks. The game will be available for free in near future, so new purchases (dated after 15th of January) are not recommended. Game changes: After almost 6 months of no news... there is new set of changes which are now live in update 0.7.0: New "novice" difficulty settings Players can lower the difficulty now If you feel like the game is too hard for you (which was intended behaviour before), you can switch to "Novice" adjustment in Preferences menu located on Home screen Novice difficulty is now turned on by default for new players (so if the game seems too easy for you, go on and try it on the original "Veteran" di…

• Update 0.6.4 - 28 October 2021

  General → some parts of user interface got polished Collected items now display correct translation of description in inventory ui, shop menu ui and chest ui if the game language is set to "Czech". Dialog can now be progressed by using the "confirm" keybinding which can be modified in options (Dialog could be progressed only by clicking on button by mouse input previously). → minor decorative objects added to the game This is probably last update of the game for some time. Game was continuously updated since release (since October 14, 2020) and reached pretty much the final, polished state with some bonus content which was added to the game along with bugfixes and quality of life features in the past. There is still lot of space for new content in form of new levels and challenges which could be added in the future if the game will get enough attention. For now, consider this version (0…

  General visual update for multiple UI elements in menu of the game Includes: Mode menu Classic mode menu #1 Classic mode menu #2 multiple adjustments of UI elements in menu to support 4:3 resolutions The game should display objects in menus correctly now (more than before) even for default 4:3 resolutions.

You can play the game also on ultrawide monitors but the resolution will be set to 16:9 and capped to 1920x1080 as it was before this update. This is set like that due to ingame experience. 4:3 resolutions are still not recommended to use if not needed.
