- An Important Announcement from Ghostwhale Games - 29 May 2025
This is one of the hardest messages we’ve ever had to write. The gaming industry can be relentless, and despite our passion and dedication, we have reached a point where we can no longer continue Ghostwhale Games. Our Early Access launch of Lindwyrm did not generate enough revenue to keep the studio running, and despite all our efforts to reach a broader audience and find support, we were unable to secure a publisher or additional funding. As a result, we are no longer allowed to sell Lindwyrm. However, for those of you who already own the game, we will continue to release updates to address bugs—and, if circumstances allow, we may even work on more improvements in the future. We want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Your support, your feedback, and your enthusiasm have meant the world to us. Thank you for being part of this journey. With heartfelt apprecia…
- Lindwyrm Soundtrack is now available! - 4 April 2025
Lindwyrm Soundtrack by Gino L Elßner Immerse yourself in the dark and mythical world of Lindwyrm with the epic Original Soundtrack! This collection of 14 tracks takes you on an adventure filled with mystery, danger, and triumphant battles. From the mysterious sounds of Coastal Chaos to the haunting atmosphere of Portal to Nowhere, each song brings the dark dungeons and relentless trials of Lindwyrm to life. ARPG meets Arpeggio Musically, the soundtrack is driven by arpeggios and rich soundscapes. Tracks like Coastal Chaos and Smoldering Endeavours create deep, atmospheric layers with drone elements and subtle guitar textures. Sanctum of the Many Gates builds on vocal harmonies, giving it an almost sacred feel, while To Catch a Nightmare deconstructs itself, deliberately breaking expectations and creating a tense, gripping atmosphere. The soundtrack blends powerful compositions with cont…

- Insidious Nature Update! - 20 December 2024
Christmas is just around the corner and what better way to pass the time until presents arrive than with a round of Lindwyrm? Or two or three rounds? We also have something new: the brand-new “Insidious Nature” setting. New environment, new monsters, new features! New Feature Town Defence The first attack has been averted, but there are still several monsters lurking underground. The villagers have built a protective barrier, but it is only a matter of time before the wood gives way and the monsters storm back into the village. If this happens, you must defend the place, otherwise it will be razed to the ground again and any previous upgrades will be lost. Repair the barrier as best you can so that it holds out for a long time. Return from the Underground as soon as the barrier drops to 0 and defend the mine! If you fail, the monsters will storm into the village. New Dungeon Setting: In…
