Dear Saregnarians,
Just a quick update for you.
We have removed the demo from Steam and Itch.io as we feel it no longer represents the game's current state. We are planning to release a refreshed demo around the winter festivitie...

Hello dear Saregnarians!
After a scorching hot summer, hailstorms, floods, and the usual apocalyptic weather, nicer, cooler days are upon us.
Apart from taking a short summer break, the past weeks were spent 90% on writing. Specificall...

This update will be on the shorter side, but simply because of the nature of the work involved. Let's go!

Of course all of you, who already...

Here’s a quick video update of the wordlock chest mechanic I recently implemented in the game.
I still need to tweak the appearance of the loot window/icon/animation, but the chests are done.

It is funny how Call of Saregnar began its life as an interactive fiction RPG hybrid, and the first thing I did back then, was to implement a conversation system. Now that CoS has grown into a fully-fledged graphic monstrosity, I almost forgot about ...
