1428: Shadows over Silesia News

KUBI Games welcomes players into a dark adventure where mistakes are not forgiven. 1428: Shadows over Silesia, an action adventure game with fantasy elements set in real medieval Europe, is out now. With true historical events in the background, you'll be facing intricate puzzles, challenging battles, cunning stealth, and much more.

Medieval Europe is in the middle of religious upheaval and many a preacher predict the imminent end of the world. The year is 1428 and the Hussites have just set out on their Silesian campaign. These heretics appear to be the biggest threat in the kingless country. But true evil of a completely different kind is lurking nearby and it does not intend to engage in religious disputes.

The game is linear and takes place throughout the entire Hussite campaign. Thirteen chapters await the player, which can take around thirty hours of gameplay time altogether.

The story is told from the point of view of the two main characters. Hynek, a grumpy Hussite hetman who doesn't hesitate to swear or mess around with anything, and Lothar, a Hospitaller knight, a man of good education and manners who stands alongside his brethren in the front line of the Silesian defense. Each has their own motivations and views of the world around them, and different equipment and abilities. Their fates will soon become intertwined. Will they face one another, weapon in hand, or forge a fragile alliance to stand shoulder to shoulder against a far worse enemy?

[h3]Key Features[/h3]

• A dark fantasy story taking place in the background of real historical events.
  
• Linear gameplay based on chapters and levels.
  
• A combat system in which being outnumbered means trouble.
  
• Challenging puzzles based on classic games of the adventure genre.
  
• Exploration of underground dungeons, caves, monasteries or castles.
  
• Isometric, stylized, slightly fairytale-like, but most importantly dark low poly graphics.
  
• Sneaking and stealthy progression.
  

[h3]Blind accessibility[/h3]
The game will be fully accessible to blind players. This will make it the first game after The Last of Us series, and the first ever game on PC, to bring full blind support to an adventure of this scale. We're not talking about just text narration or some kind of rudimentary navigation. The game will bring all-new revolutionary elements that will allow the blind to enjoy a full experience not only of the story, dialogue and environment exploration, but also stealth scenes or combat, including large scale battles.

You will experience the story of the game from the point of view of the two main characters, Hynek, a grumpy Hussite hetman who doesn't hesitate to swear or mess around with anything, and Lothar, a Hospitaller knight, a man of good education and manners who stands alongside his brethren in the front line of the Silesian defense. Each has their own motivations and views of the world around them, and different equipment and abilities. The time has come to introduce them a little more closely.

[h2]Hynek 'The Fox'[/h2]
An orphan raised by his grandmother at the court of Jobst of Luxemburg in Brno. Hynek embraced Hussite ideals, which gave him the support he thought he had long lost. In the spring of 1428, in Silesia, he commanded his troop as one of the many hetmans of the Hussite field army.



[h2]Lothar von Reichenstein[/h2]
A young Silesian nobleman from a castle at the foot of the Golden Mountains. In defiance of his father, he joined the Order and renounced all his inheritance in favour of his younger sister Anna. Lothar joined the commandery of Knights Hospitaller in Small Oels and soon gained the trust of both his superiors and his brothers. His calm nature, sharp mind and excellent swordsmanship made him an indispensable member of the Order who could always be relied upon and whose judgement must be taken into account.



The game is coming out on October 4 for PC.

Hear ye, hear ye, brave adventurers! I bring important news from the battlefield.

This year has been a very busy one for me, but since January, thanks to the money from the crowdfunding campaign, I've been able to not only finish most of what I had planned, but also add a number of new ideas to the game. I'm well on my way. There are just a few small steps left to take to make it happen.

Unfortunately, due to extra content (such as the Farkle mini-game), blind accessibility, and the preparation of the physical edition, I've been delayed and need more time. I might have made the original release date of September 6, but I'm sure the game would have contained many bugs, imperfections and you simply wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I would have liked. So I have a tough decision to make.

Release date postponed to October 4, 2022.

Some things are best not rushed. I want the game to come out in the best possible quality, and the extra few weeks will allow me to polish and fine-tune it. I believe you'll understand. As a small consolation I'm attaching some new screenshots.

The game's release date is inevitably approaching! September 6 will be around in the blink of an eye. But you can sugar-coat the wait with the demo, which is out now. It contains the entire first chapter and gives you a taste of most of the game's mechanics.



A dark fantasy adventure with true historical events in the background can begin. Europe is in the middle of religious upheaval and many preachers predict that the end of the world is near. The year is 1428 and the Hussites have just set out on their Silesian campaign. These heretics appear to be the biggest threat in the kingless country. But true evil of a completely different kind is lurking nearby and it does not intend to engage in religious disputes.

To celebrate the release of the demo, there will be two developer live streams. One will be in English and the other in Czech. Keep up to date with Steam NEXT Fest news and events.

The demo also includes accessibility features for the blind! More information in the announcement here:
