Former Piranha Bytes veterans unveil their new dungeon crawler, and it's tripping my Arx Fatalis alarms in all the right ways

Back in July 2024, former Piranha Bytes creative director Björn Pankratz and his wife, game designer Jennifer Pankratz, launched a new indie outfit called Pithead Studio, which they said would enable them to "keep doing what we love." Today we got our first look at what that is, and I am—with all appropriate caution engaged—very excited.

Cralon is "an authentic 3D dungeon crawler with RPG and adventure elements" about a demon hunter who falls into an old mine and must find his way out—which, in the way of these things, means going deeper. Naturally, there's some bad stuff hiding in the depths of the delve, and you're going to have to get that sorted, with some help from "the creatures of the shaft," before you make your escape.
