Felvidek is an indie RPG set in early modern Hungary. The game follows the story of Pavol, a knight investigating the arson of a nearby castle in the 15th century Slovak Highlands. Amidst the violence between different religious groups, something supernatural is unfolding involving Pavol's estranged wife. The game's characters and writing have received praise for their compelling nature and the buddy-cop dynamic between Pavol and monk Matej.
Look, I'm aware that the phrase"indie RPG set in early modern Hungary" sounds almost excruciatingly arch and high-falutin', but for your own sake, don't touch that dial—. I was already excited for this singular-looking JRPG-style project, but after making my way through its ~45-minute demo, I'm here to say it's a must-play. Felvidek centers on Pavol , a grinning, heartbroken buffoon of a knight tasked with investigating the arson of a nearby castle in the Slovak Highlands of the 15th century .
Amid violence between Catholics, the proto-Protestant Hussites, and Ottoman Turks, something uncanny and supernatural seems to be unfolding that involves Pavol's estranged wife. Felvidek's characters and writing managed to win me over after less than an hour of play: Pavol has a buddy-cop dynamic with straight-laced monk Matej, while both report to Jozef, a local nobleman who exudes confidence and composure—except for when he's excitedly badgering your characters to join him for a comical assortment of card and board game
