This new trailer provides a first glimpse into the game’s blend of thrilling real-time combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving. The Lonesome Guild is a single-player top-down ARPG developed by Italian indie studio Tiny Bull Studios and set in a world shrouded by loneliness. Embodying Ghost, a spirit who wakes to find they hold no memories, players will create their own ‘lonesome guild’ of ragtag adventurers, in order to work together to rid the mysterious world of Etere of loneliness, corrupted by a creeping mist.
In the demo, players will experience the beginning of Ghost’s journey as he recruits the first two of six available friends: Davinci and Mr. Fox. Each friend has their own story, motives, and abilities. Players can switch between them to face the enemies on the way, unravel ancient puzzles, and encounter the game’s first boss.
