The Knight of Turn

Think before you take the next step

The Knight of Turn is a turn-based tactical puzzle inspired by board games. Every room is a small handcrafted challenge: when the knight moves, the enemies act too. Read the board, anticipate each threat, and find your path to the exit.

Swords, shields, arrows, keys and teleporters change the rules of every encounter. Resources are limited and the order of your actions matters. Reaching the exit is only the beginning — revisit each stage to discover a better solution, use fewer moves, and beat its target time.

A new version, rebuilt from the ground up

The original 2021 release was the first step for The Knight of Turn. Since then, the game has been rebuilt from scratch: its code, controls, presentation, progression, maps, visual and audio feedback, and campaign structure were all remade to create a stronger foundation and a clearer, more satisfying experience.

This is more than an update to the old prototype. It is a new foundation for the game we always wanted to make.

The Book is the heart of the adventure

The Book is not just a menu. It is the guide to your journey and the place where the campaign takes shape.

Turn its pages to choose chapters and stages on illustrated maps, follow newly unlocked paths, check objectives and personal bests, revisit characters, and record your achievements. When a stage ends, the next part of the adventure is revealed inside the Book itself.

Instead of interrupting the world with conventional menus, the Book brings progression, discoveries, and navigation together in one object that belongs to the story.
