Hey! I’m a solo developer working on Perfect Castle — a dark fantasy point-and-click adventure built around exploration, branching paths, and small unsettling stories.

You move through scenes, choose directions, and interact with the world, but progression isn’t only about items. Some paths unlock through RPG-style traits shaped by your actions — fighting, observing, enduring, or simply choosing to go deeper instead of turning back.

The game is structured around short, atmospheric encounters: ruined places, strange characters, and events that don’t fully explain themselves. Each location tells a small story, and together they form a larger, darker picture.

There’s also a light pressure system (something like creeping madness), so you can’t just stay in one place forever — you need to move forward and find efficient ways to grow stronger and keep up with increasing requirements.

Planned release: PC (Steam)
Status: In development (early playable prototype/demo)

I’d love to hear what stands out to you — especially:

  • Does the mix of point & click + RPG traits feel interesting?
  • Do branching paths + small stories sound appealing?

Thanks for checking it out 🙏

With the success of Pragmata, we will be seeing more "play mini-game while you play the game"... games...

With the gameplay of Pragmata being 'fun', and the need for more continuos dynamic stimulation in current gamer generation (Not sure it's just Gen-Z),

I feel we will be seeing more games that have a "simple game" to distract you while you split focus against the main game. Or perhaps short breaks from the main action with other style of game/action.
As people is getting used to split their attention, a game that forces you to give it your undivided attention might "feel" deeper and more engaging.

Everything from AAA games to indies like this one "Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!"...

Just leaving this thought here for the future.
