A Polish third-person open-world fantasy RPG inspired by medieval Europe, as well as by the Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and The Witcher series. The game features a combat system that emphasizes realism, and survival elements have also been implemented into the gameplay.
Insterstudio is an independent Polish development team, which chose to create an open-world RPG for their debut project. The game is inspired by classic titles from this genre, including Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and The Witcher. The game is titled The Vernyhorn and is set in a fantasy land inspired by medieval Europe, allowing us to take on the role of a hero grappling with their own past.
In The Vernyhorn the action is viewed from a third-person perspective (TPP).
The game offers an open world featuring ancient forests and woods, misty marshes, lowlands with lakes, coastal areas, and ice-covered mountain peaks. Survival elements are implemented in the game, so when venturing into new areas, it is advisable to prepare for the conditions there in advance. For example, a mountain expedition requires warm clothing, and we must also ensure we have a supply of water and food.
As we explore the game world, we meet its inhabitants (who live based on a daily cycle and changing weather conditions) and complete quests that push the story forward. Fighting opponents also plays an important role, for which the creators invited Antoni Olbrychski - the world champion in sword fighting (1st place in HEMA dedicated to the reconstruction of historical European martial arts), as well as Morgana Mysko representing Poland in the Wushu championships (Chinese martial arts).
The fights are realistic and require us to thoughtfully execute attacks. Although the game allows us to disarm enemies, the same can happen to us. In such a case, we must manage without it by attacking with elbows and head, delivering kicks, or getting into a scuffle and trying to choke the enemy.
Additionally, the game offers a surprise attack mechanic, which allows us to launch a preemptive strike while still engaged in conversation with a hostile NPC. In this case, we have 2-3 seconds to choose the type of attack (such as throwing a weapon or slashing) before the adversaries see through our intentions.
To create the audiovisual setting of The Vernyhorn, the developers used scans of real places and objects, as well as recordings of sounds from actual locations. Furthermore, in order to increase immersion, they minimized the user interface.
