A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Following a devastating pyrrhic defeat, our young knight wakes up under the dead weight of a nameless soldier and into a heart wrenching sight. As all is already lost, the knight decides to drag the last remaining commander down into the grave with him.

The Iron Smell of Burning Blood is a one-way adventure that follows a young knight in his quest for revenge. With a death wish and a deteriorating mental health, try to drag his constantly weakening body to either fulfill its spiteful oath or it's originally intended fate.

  • Recall your training by picking through 7 different skills, each with it's own perks, and choose one out of 3 weapons to wield.
  • Fight unique characters with unique sets of skills... before you equalize them all in death.
  • Your wounds, body fatigue and pain carry over from battle to battle. Every swing you make will take that little bit of energy you might need in your final moments.
  • Lastly.. enjoy a fancy UI.

A unique mix of lite text-adventure and turn-based combat topped with RPG elements such as skill-checks and lite skill-based progression.

Cut your way through every obstacle, combat gruesome wounds, bodily fatigue and mind-numbing pain.  The state of your body and mind will decide whether you're up to the final challenge, just make sure you forgo any thought of living through it.
