Solve the mystery in Darkway: the murder of King Mere
Darkway: The Assassination of King Mere is now available on Steam, bringing the snowy dog-noir mystery to life without a long countdown or drawn-out reveal. The game comes out quietly, but the story it tells refuses to stay buried.
In this picturesque pixel mystery set in the frozen City of Ink, players take on the role of the Apprentice, an investigator navigating a city weighed down by secrets, loyalties, and political decay. And most importantly, someone killed the king of Mere. His brother Augustus is accused and the court appears ready to dismiss the case. Beneath the surface, truth breaks under pressure.
From the opening moments, players move freely across snowy rooftops using fluid parkour, sliding between areas where every shadow hides suspicion. A fully voiced cast of suspects, allies, and powerful figures shape the investigation through intense interrogations and fragile alliances. Every conversation changes the direction of things, and every decision leaves a mark that cannot be undone.
The recently released trailer captures both faces of the Dog Empire. Wide, frozen horizon lines contrast with rough, unsettling sketches that cling to the walls like warnings. The City of Ink seems alive, hostile and watchful, a place where whispers travel faster than footsteps. This is also where the truth becomes a weapon.
King Mere was once a symbol of peace and diplomacy. Now his death stains the snow, and the Empire begins to crack from the inside. As the Apprentice, players collect pieces of evidence in a world where certainties exist. Justice remains fragile, outcomes remain uncertain, and survival is no guarantee.
Darkway: Murder of King Mere invites players into a world of intrigue, consequences, and hidden threats, where revealing the truth can cost a far greater price than remaining silent.
