  Dark Laws Playtest

  Hey everyone,We’re excited to finally share a first glimpse of our game with you! After years of long nights, countless iterations, and endless cups of coffee, we’re releasing a chill playtest of Dark Laws on Steam. This isn’t the full game, but it’s a chance for you to explore, experiment, and get a feel for the world we’ve been building.In this playtest, you’ll wander around Telos Island, a place filled with mysterious loot, weapons, and spells with one of 9 heroes. You can pick up loot, test out your abilities, and just enjoy the game at your own pace—no enemies, no pressure, just exploration.Keep your eyes open while exploring… you might stumble across a Dragon Horn, a legendary artifact that lets you soar through the skies atop a mighty dragon.Here’s a quick rundown of the controls:WASD – Move aroundShift – RunCtrl - Crouch Left Mouse Button – Melee light attackRight Mouse Button – Heavy attackF – ShieldQ – MagicX - RollSpace - JumpE - Pick Up Loot / Use Portal Tab – Open inventory (drag and drop items for selection and removing from inventory)H - Call Dragon with the dragon horn (point to a clean area on the ground)Alt+F4 - Exit GameWe also want to be upfront: this is an early playtest, so some things might not work perfectly.

From the very beginning, our goal was to build a world that feels alive, full of exploration, and rewarding to engage with. Along the way, we’ve faced challenges, learned a ton, and grown as a team.
