June 14, 2016 - Pula, Croatia (EU) - Tanais Games is announcing its first game, “Saint Kotar”, for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Currently in early stage of development, coming out in 2017.

Saint Kotar is a 2D point and click adventure game. The game merges psychological horror narrative and classically inspired point 'n click adventure mechanics with switchable characters. Digitally hand-painted with a distinctive 2D art style that fits the game’s mood, fully voiced and featuring an original eerie soundtrack, Saint Kotar draws inspiration from p&c classics like Broken Sword and Monkey Island, along with the works from horror fiction writers such as H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe.

The plot

Invited to attend an exhibition of rare medieval art, the protagonists travel to Saint Kotar at the end of October 2006. The welcoming is cold and atrocious, as they find themselves dragged abruptly in a macabre series of murders, allegedly related to Satanic worship and witchcraft. These dreadful acts compel the protagonists to follow the shadow of something deeply hidden behind the town’s dark past.
Surrounded by a tenebrous aura of mystery, madness and fear, the protagonists to survive have to struggle not only against the unknown, but against themselves too, ultimately uncovering the vile truth of their own past.

Worth keeping an eye on, if only because of the use of the word "tenebrous"
