Description
Knight And Mourning is a fast-paced, rage-inducing 2D platformer where you are on a mission to find your lost sword. Run, jump, dodge spikes, and suffer. Also, your family is dead.
History
There are a lot of reasons why Knight And Mourning began, and they all muddled into the game that you see today.
It started when the developer, 1actose, did some research into console modding, and modded his 3ds system*. He found it very cool that anybody could make games for the custom firmware, and became intrigued by the process. After failing to find good resources on game creation for the 3ds, he went on a tangent in his research and found out about PC game development.
Around this time, 1actose was fooling around with some games, mainly focusing on their speedrunning categories. This is where the idea to make a game with the intention of turning normal gamers into speedrunners came from.
After some more influences and failed projects, on January 25, 2022, 1actose began work on what is now currently called Knight And Mourning.

Awards & Recognition**
I love Knight And Mourning, it's my favourite game of 2023.
I wish I had no hands, but I can't take my hands off the controller.
If I had a nickel for every time I died in the hit game, Knight and Mourning, releasing on steam on April 11th, 2023, I would have a stable financial plan.
This game ruined my life, but yet, you should buy it anyway.
