About this game
The game is set in the early 16th century within the southern lands of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (modern-day Ukraine)—a frontier region where rules are yet to be written and danger can strike without warning. Bygoner is being developed by a solo developer from Ukraine. Key Features: A personal, atmospheric journey: A focused "journey-game" without an open world.
