Evaluation
This is a free-to-play prologue/demo for the full game "Knock on the Coffin Lid," released on July 25, 2024. On December 12, 2024, the developer announced that the prologue would be closed to new players effective December 26, 2024. The game is no longer available for purchase or download — there are no active purchase options on the store. The developer confirmed existing players could still access it through their Steam Library, but new players cannot acquire it. This is a delisted state. The prologue was always intended as a free preview to showcase the full game, and its closure was a deliberate decision by the developer rather than an abandonment.

About this game

In the free version of Knock on the Coffin Lid you wake up in a cold crypt a thousand leagues from home, in the company of an enigmatic stranger.
You are Persival, a knight of the Northern Gate and Lord Ingvar’s personal bodyguard, hardened by training and real battles. But the last thing you remember is a feast and a cup of wine. Now you have to embark on a long journey, regain lost memories, and exact revenge for your betrayal. In the full version of Knock on the Coffin Lid, you will encounter the stories of two more heroes and conclude Persival’s storyline. The end of the story depends only on you!
RETURN HOME
Set off on a journey across three mysterious regions in order to return home and untangle a web of deadly intrigues. On your way you will meet many new friends – as well as those who only want to appear as such.SMITE YOUR ENEMIES
Collect powerful artifacts, build unbeatable decks and fight the leaders of factions that try to dispute your authority.UNRAVEL THE SECRETS OF THE CLASSES
Unlock 4 original subclasses in order to appreciate the depth of the game play and enliven your game experience.The Versatile
Persival is well-protected and becomes stronger if he avoids damage. Focusing on defense is an excellent choice for a beginner player.The Gold Digger
He knows the value of money, never misses an opportunity for gain and rationally uses it to his advantage. But every coin has a flip side: those who have never known need and treat money carelessly are reliably protected from stinginess and greed – the protection that Persival lacks.The Knight
Persival is an exceptional warrior, but he's too accustomed to fighting in the best armor and wielding the finest weapons. He feels uncomfortable going into battle with a dull sword and wearing rags, but there’s no other choice for him at the beginning of the game.The Veteran
Training provides only half of success; practical experience is of no less importance. Battle-hardened Persival possesses invaluable combat experience. That experience always guides him on what to do in a given situation and which of the available skills will come in handy at the right moment.
