Our take on Bahnsen Knights
Rather than centering on combat or exploration, this adventure builds tension around undercover conversations, earning a cult’s trust, and choices about characters’ fates. Its investigation-driven structure replaces the action-led pacing common in many adventure games.
What is Bahnsen Knights?
Set in Tornado Alley, USA, this interactive adventure follows Boulder, an undercover agent investigating the disappearance of fellow agent and close friend Cupra.
Boulder infiltrates the Bahnsen Knights, a religious cult led by Toni, an enigmatic former car salesman turned preacher. The investigation involves the cult’s road rituals, a captive paranormal investigator, biblical storms, and choices that affect characters’ fates. Branching narrative and illustrations shape the story, while puzzles, including solitaire, appear throughout the investigation. Building the trust of the Bahnsen Knights is part of staying alive. Bahnsen Knights is a standalone game and the third entry in the Pixel Pulps series, which combines pulp-fiction influences with home-computer graphic styles.
