The Warmonger, a game about finding peace.
As a war veteran Berserker Viking, you'll set on a journey through the fields of a war-scarred land, battlefields long forgotten, the remains of long lost cities, not a living soul around…
You'll wander and explore, trying to find meaning to all the devastation before you, you'll remember long forgotten battles, talk to long lost souls…
In your travels you'll have to help the damned, you'll have to find ways to cross the untraversable paths before you, but most importantly, find peace inside all the sadness before your eyes.
Gameplay
This game is a story driven puzzle game, as the player traverses the world, various puzzles will be placed upon him, mostly, if not all environmental and dialogue choices given by NPCS, you'll have to take upon this challenges to ultimately find meaning to your journey.
Puzzle types:
-Environmental
These go from traversing enemies non-violently to figuring out which rune on a magical door will activate it.
-Dialogue Choices
Most of these will be given to the player as optional, but will reward him items useful for future aid on certain puzzles.
The player will move with WASD or the left stick and interact with the right click or A or X buttons with objects and left click or X or Square buttons to start dialogues with the different NPCS throughout the game.
Combat is non-existent in the game, but there are creatures that the player will need to avoid in order to move on in the story.
Overall it's a game designed to let the player appreciate the meaning behind everything that's put into it.
