Our take on Lightmare Castle
The defining structure is an episodic amnesia investigation: the first episode uses exploration, written records, crafting, quests, and puzzles to reveal the protagonist’s place in the world.
What is Lightmare Castle?
Lightmare Castle is a medieval fantasy adventure built around an amnesia mystery.
The player wakes without knowing their identity, location, or circumstances, then explores a dark world while gathering answers. Books, manuals, and diaries provide information about the land. Blueprints and raw materials support crafting items and weapons, while using objects in inventive ways can help complete tasks. Quests involve assisting other characters, and puzzles reveal more about the events behind the protagonist’s memory loss. This first episode introduces the setting, its crafting system, and the use of written information to understand the world. Further episodes are planned to expand the story, with later material focusing more on the characters and the protagonist’s place in Lightmare Castle.
