What it is about

In Knights of Slime , you are a noble knight riding on the back of your giant snail . You are on a quest across an enchanted, misty medieval England, where steely courage is matched only by the surprising loyalty of your mighty snail companion. Here, legends are carved not just with swords but with the bonds between knight and snail, and each adventure tests both your strength and heart. Your snail’s traits will affect how encounters unfold, making each journey as unique as the bond you create. Will they be a symbol of quiet resilience, a creature of mysterious wisdom, or a steadfast, battle-ready companion? You’ll encounter magical creatures, rival knights, and eerie locations as you face choices that shape your journey—and the legend of your snail. Knights of Slime promises a fresh take on adventure and companionship, inviting you to build your own legend—one unforgettable encounter at a time. Knights of Slime is a unique journaling game that combines storytelling with the unpredictability of a deck of cards tailored to your journey. Using a standard 52-card deck, each game begins by drawing twelve cards to create a Journey Deck, which is directly influenced by your snail's traits. Your journey unfolds as a series of encounters, choices, and reflections. Each suit—Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, and Spades—represents a different aspect of your quest, from strengthening your bond with your snail to engaging in combat, moral dilemmas, and mystical discoveries. Each card prompts you to record your knight’s responses and decisions, capturing the story as it develops. As you move forward, you’ll write down your adventures, shaping a personal tale of loyalty, bravery, and the unique quirks of your snail companion that makes each game a new journey. Ambience Enhance your gaming experience by adding a cinematic, ambient soundtrack to your order. Experience an hour of mystical forest ambience filled with armoured knights, oozing snails, and growling beasties... or alternatively you could play Knights of Slime in a slime-filled forest.
