About

You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now possess.
As you explore an abandoned castle and piece together your memories, you’ll uncover your tale: A tale of broken promises, regret, and bonds that last beyond death.
But your story doesn’t have to die with you.

The Last Winter Knight is an atmospheric Gothic visual novel that features:
A melancholy story where you play as a ghostly knight haunting a suit of armour, featuring over 100k words.
Point and click segments that let you explore a lonely castle.*
Hand-drawn artwork that captures a dark fairy tale feel.
A pensive piano soundtrack that subtly shifts depending on where and what you examine.
Multiple endings to uncover: Will you remained trapped in your armour, or finally find peace?

The Last Winter Knight is 100% human made – mostly by one human, a solo developer who painted each frame, recorded and edited every track, typed every line of code and constantly agonised over word choices. Thank you so much for checking out this game and huge labour of love!
A special thank you to the people who helped make this project possible:
Wanpans Armoury for providing armour foley, playtesting and acting as a consultant for medieval arms, armour and general knowledge. There are many, many breaks from reality in this fantasy game, none of which are their fault.
Cobaye and Sammy L. for playtesting and moral support.
ArcanaXIX for the haunting cello performances.
n3ur0515 (Neur) for editing the trailer.
Jason Cura for additional last-minute audio assistance.
And friends and family and for their support.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
This is an absolutely beautiful game, hauntingly so. I can't recommend it enough. It contains a tragic, sorrowful story (though hopeful at times, too) with multi-faceted characters that I was very invested in. Thoroughly investigating your surroundings and paying attention is something you get rewarded for and the choices you make will have consequences.
Beautiful art, heartrending storytelling. After getting the true ending I wanted to know so much more. Absolutely recommended.
Absolutely beautiful story. The writing is magnificent, and it constantly surprised me. The art is stunning, and the gameplay is straightforward but rewarding. I can't believe this isn't more popular!!
What a Story! Bought this and planned for it to be a relaxing read when I had some downtime. Little did I know I would be consumed by the world and the tale it has to tell. Such hope, love, regret and pain. This is an amazing game, but it is not for the weak of heart.
What a beautiful and heart-wrenching experience this game was, still can't fully believe that this was made by a solo developer. Bravo!
A somber but hopeful Knight tale. Everything about this game is beautiful the art, music, writing, and storytelling! I love all of the choices and events, I would play a million games like this. I will be be telling everyone I know to play this game!
This was beautiful and incredible. Thank you for making such a wonderful game. It was truly something special.
I absolutely LOVED this game! Still working on getting all the endings and achievements!
Ouuughhhhh this game is so so good. If you're looking for a melancholic game with a beautiful soundtrack, gripping story trying to search for things long since passed, and bits of interesting lore that makes your mind go BRRRR(haha, a pun) as well as gorgeous artwork this is your visual novel. I'm not done yet, but the story captivates you almost immediately and you won't wanna stop. Can safely say Endysis knocked it out of the park. :)
