About The Warlock's Prisoner
The Warlock's Prisoner opens with you waking up locked away deep inside the lair of a mysterious warlock. Darkness fills the corridors, traps lie in wait and an army of zombies roams between you and the way out. It mixes adventure, horror, survival and puzzle-solving, and every part of it serves one goal: getting out of the lair alive.
Escaping means exploring dangerous passages, searching for items, gathering clues and using them to crack the puzzles that block your route, all while fighting off the dead. A mysterious Looking Glass, a key object in the lair, holds secrets of its own and adds another layer of intrigue. Your inventory keeps what you find, a hint is on hand when a puzzle stalls you, and the story unfolds the deeper you push. The tone is tense and dark throughout, with one question hanging over everything: will you escape, or stay a prisoner of the dark forever?
