Conkers

The local name has too many vowels, feels alien on our tongues. We call it Hirwen. Every utterance marks us as outsider, foreign, not welcome. It hugs the bottom of the valley, a tumour clinging to the earth. The stream that runs through it is low and almost dry, more mud than water. Hirwen prays for rain. We pray for something else. Something much older.

Conkers is a small fiction for adventure games, an experiment in form from the creator of Treasures Of The Troll King and The Wretched.

This project is incomplete. The full version will be released on October 31st. The preview is available to download for free.
