It sounds pretty thrilling.

I am still searching for this RPG in theSteam prologue demofor Alkimia Interactives Gothic reboot.

There are a lot of snarling strangers in the Gothic reboot.

The black-haired jowly white male protagonist of the Gothic Remake prologue, talking to somebody out of view with the blue Wishlisted mascot in the bottom right

The performers all act like theyre auditioning for the part of First Guy Punched in a Batman movie.

A man is hunched over peering at some small squawking dinosaurs.

Will I go murder them in return for a spot at his campfire?

An over the shoulder view of an arid canyonside from the Gothic remake

I gallop in whooping and wailing like Funko Pop Clancy Brown has just be-bobble-headed Funko Pop Sean Connery.

The only difficulty is that my new friend keeps shooting me in the bum.

I think hes trying to help but unfortunately, he is neglecting to apply the principle of aiming.

A man with two arrows sticking out of his bum in a forested rocky area in the Gothic remake

Funko Pop Lambert ends the engagement with quills sticking out of both glutes like semaphore turning signals.

Still, at least hes got a bed for the night.

Oh wait, no he hasnt.

Two men talking about missing people and sleeping arrangements on a hillside in the Gothic remake.

Hes got to convince his new friends other friend first.

Apparently there is a sect who worship some sleeping god.

There follows about 20 minutes of picturesque rambling initiated by my forgetting I have a jump button.

A Black man talking to a white man about women kept for the “amusement” of local faction leaders in the Gothic remake

No, I can fuck off.

I fuck off to the end of the forest and helpfully find the guy the guy is looking for.

The other guy, I mean.

A man talking about somebody’s weird nightmares in the woods, from the Gothic remake

He speculates that the killer was some kind of “shadowbeast”.

All of this Machiavellian plot-jostling finally lands Funko Pop Lambert a seat at camp.

We descend with the setting sun.

I cant say Im spellbound by the Gothic remake so far, but I am somewhat tantalised.

Its seldom that a fantasy RPG weaves a whole quest chain around the act of securing a bed.
