Dev Update #7 - A Trip Down Memory Lane

Hello everyone! We hope you had a nice Easter holiday for those of you who celebrate it. As you are aware, we enjoy sharing our progress with you in terms of the building of 9 Years of Shadows through our monthly updates.
This time, we would like to introduce you to some characters that set the tone for the game’s story. Meet Bebel and Wynton, two a mystic bassist and a nostalgic trumpeter that once belonged to a famous orchestra before finding themselves inside Talos Castle. With talented hands and a penchant for rhythm, musicians merge their craft in a beautiful symphony.


As for other iconic characters, we have been talking about one in particular for the past couple of updates, the mysterious warrior Draythus. You have seen his portrait, but what do you think of his latest idle?


And last, but certainly not least, take a look at the portrait of this noble couple. Though wealthy and well-respected, deadly diseases spear no one, regardless of their station. As a result, this portrait is one of the only reminders their daughter has of her parents, along with her halberd and a beautiful dress.


Fueled by the powerful memory those heirlooms represent, Europa is ready to face anything. If you want to know more about the foes Europa will have to face, you might want to stay tuned tuned to our socials. As of this week, we will officially launch our Bestiary, a compilation of Talos’ most dangerous and intriguing creatures.


In fact, the most important creatures featured in the Bestiary are backer-enemies, interesting characters backers of a certain tier created, and we have decided to upgrade them to a boss category. When you run into NPCs such as Bebel and Wynton, they will have quests that may steer you in the direction of these terrifying foes.

Thank you for your everlasting support, as always! We will have exciting news soon, so make sure you follow us and join the conversation.
