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.
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?

*Accessibility note: Instead of clicking, you can hover over objects and hit -Enter- to interact with them. Text can be advanced with -Space-

This game is a solo project with art, music, story, programming and sound design by ENDYSIS (me!) Thank you so much for checking out my game!

Special thank you to Wanpans Armoury for providing armour foley and Sammy L. for moral support.

October Update; Release Date Postponed

Hello friends!

I've been at work as usual on The Last Winter Knight, but today I have to announce that its release date will now be delayed to quarter one of 2026.

I know that many of you have been looking forward to it, so I'm truly sorry to have to push back its release again. Solo development can be a struggle to juggle with life, and lately I've been feeling burnt out and not in a state to finish it before the end of the year -- much less try to release it during the hectic holiday period!

I think it's been long overdue that I take a real break, and hopefully I'll be refreshed and ready to tackle things again after. I truly hope you understand and as always appreciate your patience.

That doesn't mean I don't have updates about Winter Knight, though...

Progress Update

Sprites for the NPCs are finished, and scripting continues for chapter two.

Armour says a lot about a character, and I tried to put in hints about their history and who they are in their artwork!

Alas, sprites take a lot of time both to draw and program. Sometimes I prefer to add another CG instead of trying to do sprite work -- it's that tedious for me!

Like in Chapter One, your choices influence your outlook and personality, but now they affect relationships as well. Characters may only reveal certain things if they trust you...

Trail of Stars Steam Release

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4006140/Trail_of_Stars/"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Trail of Stars , a short side story I made in January of this year with some talented folks is coming to Steam on November 13th!

Game Description Image

This was only possible thanks to generous donations from itch players and my patreon supporters; I'm truly grateful for the chance to bring more of my library to a wider audience!

The Steam version will be the same as the Itch release (except with achievements!) so there's nothing new here story-wise. You also don't need to play it to understand Winter Knight's story or vice versa. It's simply a short and (bitter)sweet fairy tale about two young knights-in-training that you can enjoy in a single sitting.

The soundtrack will also be available for free.

Thank you for reading, and happy Halloween!
