49 Keys is a narrative-focused game inspired by real magic books from the 16th century. The protagonist is a friar from the Dominican Order. One day, he receives a letter from his deceased master naming him heir to his mysterious legacy. Your journey will transport you to an unsettling palace filled with mysteries and macabre demons.
Drawing inspiration from point-and-click adventures, 49 Keys blends elements such as intricate puzzle solving, interaction with objects, and creating alchemical mixtures or summoning spirits based on the influence of the planets. Players will need not only to wield their intellect but also to test their mettle and remain calm in the game’s oppressive atmosphere. As the end of the story unveils, they’ll be presented with crucial choices that will change the story’s outcome.
