Sound of the devs



Hi everyone, it is a pleasure to bring you our first game Dawn of the Lost Castle

As a big fan of Castlevania, I wanted the game to contains more exploration elements and more fights. But it didn't go well since we all lack of experiences and funds to extend the development period.

But this won't be the end of Dawn of the Lost Castle, neither it will be our last game. So if you have any suggestions, please let us know through Steam Discussion.
