Count Lucanor [PAL] - PSVita

The Count Lucanor takes influence from games like The Legend of Zelda, Silent Hill and Dark Souls, with action, exploration and puzzle-solving. There is a strong focus on the horror elements and it has a retro pixel visual look, along with a chiptune soundtrack, reminiscent of the contemporary Undertale.

You play as Hans, a rebellious 10-year-old who is sick of living on the breadline, which he has endured since his Dad left for war. As you begin, Hans argues with his mother about his lack of birthday presents and storms out on her, signalling the beginning of his adventure. Hans is a naïve character, you realize that he doesn’t know much of the world outside his house and, as we would expect, this leads him to trouble.

It has some elements of the adventure games of the 90s in its graphics and dialogue, but you must use timing and wit in order to survive.
