KN1GHT is a solo journaling game about a medieval knight, facing near-certain death in a dragon’s lair. You might beat the dragon, but much more likely, you will perish. Coming to terms with your own mortality and the trauma of violence is the meat of the game.
A 16 HP Dragon, by Stras, brought us the idea that dragons don’t need “2500 hp to make a fight scary or hard.” KN1GHT takes that concept and turns the volume up to 11.
