Ex-Gothic developers unveil new dungeon crawler with first gameplay footage

In Cralon, players step into the shoes of the titular hero, Cralon the Brave, who sets out to hunt down a demon terrorizing a nearby village. However, while following its trail, he tumbles into an ancient mine shaft, the game's true setting.

To find a way back to the surface, players navigate a dark labyrinth filled with dangers and secrets. The branching cave system features diverse biomes, including underground forests, swamps and cemeteries. Alongside melee and ranged combat, a dynamic stealth system comes into play, using light sources to determine visibility, much like in the Thief series.

The mine is home to a variety of creatures and not all are hostile toward Cralon. Fully voiced dialogues with multiple choices aim to give players more freedom in how they approach the game. While no release date has been announced yet, the reveal trailer already offers a glimpse of the gameplay:
