Hydra's Head 2 is the next installment of the series.

In this episode Iancu arrives in Klint, where he meets a cast of new characters. Help him carry out his missions inside the town.



The game is finished, but if you guys encounter bugs please let me know!

I'll be working on improving it during the next week.

There is no voice acting, and if the music is too grating turn it off. Music isn't something I'm good at.



Warnings: Some cursing but overall SFW. Appropriate for 12 and up.

Game play time: About 20 minutes

Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Story-based Point and click

Art wise, I went in a new direction. I hope to make better backgrounds next game, for now I just wanted to focus on completing it.

I played the game. The story picks up where the first episode left, without much recap. (Perhaps it would be nice to offer this to new players?) Anyway, the player gets some assignments and runs errands for the other characters. I felt that this chapter for the most part is for getting to know the environment and meeting some new people, as the story doesn't progress much, and the tasks are very easy. The game is still an improvement from the first chapter, because it's easier to understand how to do what you are supposed to in order to progress.

I have one gripe: the Sierra template is clearly the wrong choice here. The only useful verb is "use", and walking only slows the game down - there's instant transfer if you use the exit instead of walking there. I think the BASS template or something similar would fit the gameplay better.

Thank you for your feedback! Yeah I'll change the template because you've already told me last time that BASS would be better suited. I guess I got comfortable with the sierra one because I kept using it before.
I'm so happy to hear that it's an improvement compared to the old one :D
Take care and have a great week!
