Hi everyone!

I'm the solo developer of Forgotten Blood, an old-school dungeon crawler inspired by classic RPGs.

This month after release, I decided to focus on completely reworking the inventory system. I wanted it to be easier to use, more organised and to work better with both keyboard/mouse and controller.

I've attached a screenshot of the new system and I'd really like to hear your feedback.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Another creature from my horror series.
Very sketchy and rough, I tried to keep it more painterly and undefined because it gives a stronger horror vibe.

I imagined this new concept as a basic enemy in a Dark Souls-style game, set in swampy areas. I hope to use it one day in my games.

Another drawing of a monster this one is a bit more sketchy and has the vibe of a lonely, sorrowful creature.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been developing a first-person dark fantasy RPG called Forgotten Blood over the past few years.

It’s heavily inspired by King’s Field in terms of atmosphere, with some Souls elements and a strong focus on exploration and environmental storytelling. There are also influences from Morrowind (loot systems) and older RPGs like Baldur’s Gate.

I’m currently wrapping up the polishing and bug-fixing phase, and the demo is now available to play on Steam.

If you’re into slow-paced, immersive worlds, I’d really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks for taking a look!

Game Title:

Platform:
PC (Steam)

Description:
Follow the call of an ancient crystal dagger toward the Forgotten Valley, now corrupted by the Stone Plague. Forgotten Blood is a single-player action RPG with an open map, inspired by King’s Field and the Souls series.

Players explore interconnected areas, uncovering fragments of a deeper story. The focus is on exploration and discovery, allowing players to move through different locations while gradually understanding the story.

This demo represents the current state of the project and is intended to give a first look at the core experience.

Free to Play Status:
Demo Available on Steam

Involvement:
I’m the solo developer behind the project, working on all aspects of the game including programming, design, and worldbuilding.

I was mixing some old sketches and it slowly turned into this creature.
It kind of gives me Dark Souls 2 vibes, not sure why maybe some of you who played it will see it too.

Currently in the polishing phase of my game and trying to push the atmosphere as much as possible.

I’ve always been more interested in mood and environment rather than constant action, so a lot of the work now is about small details, pacing, and how different areas feel when you move through them.

This clip is just a few cuts of different locations and situations I’ve been working on.

Second post here, I’ll be sharing some concept art here from time to time.
