I don't usually play "low quality", in terms of visual fidelity, games because well I've been disillusioned that graphics quality = high quality game. But when I saw this popup on my YouTube feed: I INSTANTLY loved the idea of the game. Reminds me of Infinity Blade. Apple fucked over those developers and I will forever hate Apple for that. They should have just broke all contracts and released their dungeon crawler and kept on pushing, like the character in your game. This was wonderfully produced and you've now earned a place in my heart and my memories as one of the best game's I've ever played. I will make sure I do my part in letting those around me know that The Dark Queen of Mortholme should be experienced before ones passing. Thank you. Thank you for everything.
Absolutely wonderful idea and execution. The one blemish on this is that sometimes attacks that should have hit, do not. I know that's for story reasons, but maybe the hero needs to dodge those too.
Amazing and emotional. I'm curious as to whether there's a 3rd ending, beyond the hero giving up or the queen dying. Made me have hope but maybe there really isn't a way out of our destiny and we can only live on in memory. :(
That one time Hero didn't came back... I feel like I've just lost good old friend. Thank you, Dev. It was not story I expected, but one I needed. 10/10
Yep, you have to defeat him after he says "Okay, just one more try..." I personally just rushed with 2 and if he tries to take the bow - pressed 3. For me it was too hard to get timing of mace, so 2 + 3 are the best. On second phase I just moved right ON him and spamed 1. It was more than enough
Love it -- I know to some extent the hero is supposed to have immunity in certain parts of the game after a certain point, but it did not feel good to see him standing in the hitbox of an attack and then he didn't get hit. At the final fight, he was standing right in the attacks and not taking any damage. Great game, just unfortunate hitboxes.
It seems that you are the fuck who is dumb. How dare you treat another instance of your own self with such disdain. Were you not at one point in your trials just as fuck dumb as @Zbug10? Why would you even think this kind of behavior would be acceptable? I feel pity for your soul. You still have so much to learn, not only in this life: but of many more to come.
Ugh, these letters arranged in meaningful syllables cause me great cringe, I can agree that the game has a good moral though. 10/10, preety floar reflactions
Holy shit the polish! The dialouge! I love it so much, although controlling the boss was a little frustrating it does make it feel like an actual video game boss. Idk if it was intentional but the hitbox (mainly of the first attack) being forgiving to the little guy is funny, as it's consistent with other video games being forgiving for the player. Although that part was a little frustrating, it made for a great story. Kudos!
I refuse defeat. They shall NOT have it their way...
I don't know if there are more endings, but I am more than willing to find out.
I really liked this game, dark lord simulator is a concept that has already been done before, but always in a jokingly manner, it was not until Mortholme that I got to be the boss under a compelling narrative.
Keep it up, games like these give me hope for the future of gaming.
I absolutely loved this game! Showing decent character development in 20 minutes can't be easy, but you nailed it ^^ I was feeling bad for the queen towards the end lol. I would love to see more "anti-games" from you in the future!
love is game playing hollow knight of the first time it has the same vide hope i just something like you can do boss before the final ex boom boom before bower. but different but just hope than is more on the line
Anyone else having an issue where they become invulnerable in phase 1 after winning in phase 2? I think I've soft locked myself somehow
Edit: I managed to replicate the softlock, if you defeat him in phase 2 and he happens to be under you DON'T mash space as you can potentially enter the animation of burning him without turning your candles back on giving you immortality without a way to get an ending

very fun game it enjoy how the hero gets better and so far the only way I've bet him is by being unfair and spamming 3 because in souls games its fair and to get him to quit is by being unfair
The only words I have for this game are: thank you. Thank you for creating this masterpiece—a game that delivers such a deep, emotional story in just a few minutes. The feeling of being condemned to die, no matter what, makes the queen’s final dialogue hit even harder. A wave of emotions washed over me while playing, and I even shed a few tears when the queen embraced the player and during the ending.
I played this game because it has an interesting gameplay from what I saw. You as the boss fighting the hero which usually the player's role, but i didnt expect the story that this game have. For a short game it is really impressive. I love it, thank you for the game.

How do you get that ending? Ive been trying but it seems fatal, I cant figure it out, do you somehow have to defeat him one last time?
Yep, you have to defeat him after he says "Okay, just one more try..."
I personally just rushed with 2 and if he tries to take the bow - pressed 3. For me it was too hard to get timing of mace, so 2 + 3 are the best. On second phase I just moved right ON him and spamed 1. It was more than enough

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH :,P
the developer actually put effort into this game, i like
Will there be marriage update?
🙏
hay this is not working for me, it said “the developer need to update their software” and i cant open it. do you think you can fix it?
You absolute dumb fuck, press show more, then run
It seems that you are the fuck who is dumb. How dare you treat another instance of your own self with such disdain. Were you not at one point in your trials just as fuck dumb as @Zbug10?

Ok, sorry king
I appreciate your introspection. You are also a king. We are all kings and queens. We are all the same. We are all one.
Ugh, these letters arranged in meaningful syllables cause me great cringe, I can agree that the game has a good moral though.
10/10, preety floar reflactions
amazing
Pretty good. Had a lot of fun and laughter. Playing it again.

I quite enjoyed this game. Surprisingly philosophical and emotional.
