The Secret of Varonis

About

The Secret of Varonis is a retro-styled RPG that channels the spirit of classic handheld games. You pick from four different races to create your party and navigate a story-driven adventure. Combat uses a turn-based system that tests strategy with each move. The game sticks to simple controls and a pixel-art look that feels nostalgic but still fresh. What sets it apart is the balance between tough battles and a story that keeps you curious. Without giving details, the puzzles and enemies are designed to make you think without being unfair. It came out in March 2024 for PC and Mac, and early feedback shows it’s a hit with those missing old-school RPGs. The small team behind it clearly put effort into making each race and battle matter.
