Your Feedback Matters
Apprentice of Darkness is a solo-developed game, and getting the demo into players' hands is an incredibly important milestone for me, after working on it for more than 2 years.If you play it, I'd genuinely love to hear what you think, what you enjoyed, what felt confusing, which characters you liked, what you'd change, or even what terrible things happened during your run.Feedback from the demo will help me continue improving the game ahead of Steam Next Fest, October 19–26, and the planned full release on November 3.So gather your monsters, enter the Tower of Darkness, and show the forces of good that they've had their turn.The Apprentice of Darkness demo is available NOW on Steam.See you on the dark side!_theRaven
