Lupus in Fabula is an adventure game with lite puzzle elements set in medieval/Renaissance world.
The game follows two characters, controlled one at a time, caught in Flemish Renaissance mixed with glitched medieval times as a result of failed magickal transport.
Now the unfortunate duo must escape a series of dungeons while being threatened by ungainly bestiary populating the world around them. At all times they are under scrutiny by an alien duo, one with likeness of a French Philosopher Voltaire and the other as Venetian Renaissance painter Tiziano, besides a common Raven, who appears to take great interest into the plight of the Hero and his friend.
The game has a total of 21 levels, the first twenty being self sufficient dungeons of various lengths.
The final level takes place in a village possessed by the 'evil shaggy one', where the whole story comes to a final wrap.
The story, characters and places are heavily influenced with everything from images of 'Lost in Space', 'Black Adder' or 'Monty Python' to words from the likes of 'Gargantua & Pentagruel' & 'Decameron' and strokes from painters like Pieter Brueghel, Van Eyck coupled with medieval superstitions, scriptural references and bestiary catalogs.
Featuring:
- 21 levels with maps tailored to suit different puzzles and characters
- Graphically crafted to pay homage to 'olde masters'
- Non punishing approach to solve puzzles (not much of 'use everything on anything' until it works)
- Array of weird, different places and characters to meet
- Continuous story which envelops the puzzles for the final event
- Ambient sound and music to add to that ghastly 'dark ages' feel :D
- Additionally, 15 nifty renaissance achievements to peruse

This is really, really good so far.
This game is not for everyone, if you like surrealism and visual art, this game is for you. The game gets better the further you go.
I really enjoyed the art style and the overall setting of the game; I liked that it seemed to pull the characters and environments from those illuminated manuscripts, and some of the puzzles were fun to pick apart.
The controls were okay but a little hard to get used to, and I wish there were automatic checkpoints after each stage, as well as the ability skip the cutscenes because they sometimes went on a little long.
Some of the puzzles' solutions did not feel fair or correct, like attaching a pair of antlers and a lit candle to one characters head instead of just using the lit torch the other character had; I honestly thought combining parts of a puzzle with a character you play as was a really creative puzzle in itself, but that one did not feel right (the next part with the mirror puzzle made more sense in my opinion).
I didn't get very far in this, I'm not sure how long it is but I spent about 40 minutes playing it, and several times I feel off those elevator platforms and had to restart from my last save, which became frustrating quickly.
The two biggest suggestions I'd have are to add a lever under any elevator platforms you make in games like this so we can recall them if we fall off, and add a quicksave/ checkpoint system, maybe even in place of the standard "Load/Save Game" menu options. Really each stage did not seem very long, so just saving at the start would work fine.
Good luck on your other games, and I hope you use this artistic style again, it's very unique!
Fantastic adventure game with fun puzzles, the art direction and atmosphere is reason enough to buy this. This dev has clearly put a lot of time and effort into creating this game, sad to see work that has actual effort put into creating it get drowned in the cesspool of asset flips and other utter wank games on this platform.
