Lost Castle is an independent game developed by Hunter Studio. It is a small developer operating originally only in China. After the success of the game on the local market, the team established cooperation with Another India - publisher of such projects as Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption and Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds, which launched the project in other countries.

Story

The title castle, formerly known as Harwood, was the center of a wonderful and wisely ruled land. One day, the situation changed as the building and nearby lands were captured by the forces of evil. No one in their right mind dares to go there anymore, but inside the ruined castle there are treasures that attract scores of brave men. Maybe one of them will be able to do something good at the same time?
