❗ An important update for our backers: we'll start sending codes for the Prelude Dark Pain demo NEXT WEEK!

Prelude Dark Pain screenshot. The ambient is the top of a train wagon, with a dark fantasy setting and comic-book style. A masked character is kneeled in the center of the screen. Behind him, an enourmous man is holding him captive. There are three other characters surrounding the masked man: a boy with a snpir rifle, a man with a dagger and a masked woman with a bow.
