The Necromancer's Tale has been invited to be part of Steam's ScreamFest this Halloween! You can play our detailed demo (1.5 hrs+ content).
The demo contains four distinct parts:
Chapter 1 (From the Beginning) - Your character's backstory, early career and skills are chosen through an interactive fiction. This demo offers an abbreviated version of the interactive fiction (chapter 1), followed by a portion of 'Homecoming' (chapter 2) which deals with the events and intrigue after you arrive home for your father's funeral.
Chapter 2 (Homecoming) - This demo covers the second half of chapter 2: your initial exploration of the city, meeting old friends, and finding a job. You have gathered enough information to realise that your father's death and hurried cremation were suspicious, and that the family finances are in trouble. You will need to find a short-term job in the city and investigate recent events. We begin with you about to venture past your home gates for the first time...
Chapter 6 (Hospital) - This demo covers the first half of chapter 6. Using a ritual from an ancient spellbook you attempt to raise a dead body but collapse into a coma. You awaken in hospital beside Diedrik, your childhood friend who has been in hospital since he got caught up in a necromantic trap spell you had set to protect your house.
Combat Demo - A demo of the turn-based hexgrid combat system. Here you have some reanimated skeletons under your control in addition to your own character. Characters move in sequence based on their Agility skill.
