'Pendula Swing' Ep. 5: Glamour Spell Scheduled For Next Month

by Rainier on April 16, 2019 @ 8:23 a.m. PDT

Pendula Swing is a episodic story-driven adventure RPG elements that invites players to explore a beautiful hand painted fantasy version of the American Roaring ‘20s - an age of dramatic social and political change.

Introducing a fantasy version of the American Roaring Twenties period, Pendula Swing features goblins, dwarves and orcs in a unique Tolkien meets The Great Gatsby setting. The first episode of Pendula Swing will be offered for free and the second will be priced at $4.99, with a remaining five episodes rolling out over the course of the next year.

The first episode, “Tired and Retired” introduces the protagonist, Brialynne Donu Tenúm, a once famous dwarven hero who saved the world 400 years ago and is forced to interrupt her indefinite retirement when she discovers that an important artifact has been stolen. But she no longer recognizes the world she returns to: full of strange music, completely new and flamboyant fashion, fast moving steel horses as well as goblins and orcs roaming the streets in broad daylight. Players must unlock areas of the town of Duberdon to solve problems and help Brialynne make heads or tails of this new world in order to find and recover her axe, which turns out to be much harder than she had anticipated…


Glamour Spell unlocks the Entertainment District and grants Brialynne the access to the speakeasy in Old Town.

This is the episode most focused on the glamour and elegance of the American Roaring 1920s, allowing you as Brialynne to “party like the great Gatsby“. We want to bring forth all the opulence and vibe of the 20s! Expect pearls and headbands, swing music, sequin dresses, a fancy department store, a barber shop, a shady quest to gain access to the (in)famous speakeasy, and even more illicit dwarven ale.

Glamour Spell - the 5th Pendula Swing episode - hits Steam on May 16!
