The Dark Queen of Mortholme

Game information

In The Dark Queen of Mortholme, you play as a force that once ruled without question. The world has accepted your dominance, until a lone hero dares to step into your domain. Their efforts are weak, their purpose unclear—at first. But as they continue to return, it becomes harder to ignore their presence and harder still to deny the effect it begins to have. Each interaction slowly shifts the power dynamic, not with force, but with persistence and dialogue.

A Story That Breaks the Cycle

This short, narrative-driven game redefines expectations. There are no quests to complete, no upgrades to chase. Instead, The Dark Queen of Mortholme explores what happens when the unstoppable meets the unrelenting. Through repeated confrontations, the story evolves. The player begins to question the role of the intruder, and also the purpose of the queen herself. What starts as resistance becomes conversation, and perhaps something even more complex.

Dialogue as a Weapon and a Mirror

Across a 20-minute playthrough, you will encounter themes of identity, vulnerability, and transformation. The interaction between queen and hero challenges the concept of conflict itself. Can power change without being taken? Can a role be rewritten through persistence alone? With multiple language options and a minimalist design, the game focuses all attention on the unfolding exchange—leaving you to interpret its meaning long after it ends.
