The holiday season just keeps giving with the present of Immortal Darkness: Curse of the Pale King. This RPG dungeon crawler from developer Giant Space Monster is now free to download in celebration of the Christmas spirit. Chris Shrigley of Giant Space Monster actually composed a blog post detailing the reasoning. It involves the developer’s history and an announcement you will want to check out.
Chris Shrigley Says Goodbye with Immortal Darkness: Curse of the Pale King for Free
Immortal Darkness: Curse of the Pale King follows Shade, a vampire hunter who has unfortunately been bitten. Before he can fall into vampirism, he must traverse through dangerous dungeons to reach the Pale King, lord of all vampires. Enemies will stand in his way, puzzles will halt his process, and traps will spring on the wrong footing. Time is running out for Shade – choose your path carefully, or the end might not be a friendly one.
The free release of Immortal Darkness: Curse of the Pale King also comes with the retirement of Chris Shrigley. As expressed in the blog post, after 40 years of developing video games, he’s ready to call it a day. He’ll still dabble in some software on occasion, but this game is his last – and even his best, according to him. This brings us to the holiday gift from the talented developer.
His blog post will go over a few topics for readers to peruse. He’ll talk about the game’s development, aspirations, and disappointments that eventually led to the “freeware” release. Additionally, he explains that Immortal Darkness is no longer on Steam, though support is still active for owners of the title. In the end, giving away the game for free is Chris Shrigley’s gift to the world, coupled with a thoughtful post referring to his retirement.
Immortal Darkness: Curse of the Pale King is available to download now for free through the official website. Be sure to check that out and Chris Shrigley’s blog for more articles and news from the developer.
