The description for Kingdom of the Dead simply states that the players have to push "Death's armies back to the underworld." The imposing pen and ink hand drawn style of this upcoming indie game beautifully exacerbates the horror elements that the story holds.

The art style of Inua: A Story in Ice and Time is what catches the attention of the player first. There is a sense of warmth and serenity that the art style beautifully portrays. The official description of the adventure states:
"Inua is a point & click narrative game where three protagonists roam the same places in the far North, decades apart. Explore each era, collect ideas, and influence their decisions to change the course of history."

The official description for this indie game mentions that the player was born a feudal lord and is bored of hunting, executions, tournaments, feasts and beautiful maidens.
"The only dream left - your castle surrounded by hordes of enemies."
The quirky title seems appropriate to the game's premise as players rain down hell from the ramparts of their castle while dealing with troubles that brew inside the walls.
