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…

The sixth episode of Pendula Swing, the adventure game set in a fantasy version of the American Roaring 1920s, lets you explore the Academic District, make friends with enchanted animals, peruse the Grand Library, attend lectures, experience an intriguing academic life and much more!

The hunt for her missing axe brings Brialynne to the seat of the academics in Duberdon. Could these scholars be the ones hiding her precious artifact? In Pendula Swing Episode 6 - Public Display of Heroism, you get to visit the Academic District, walk around the campus, discover an intriguing student life, read a lot of books in the University Library and even attend an intriguing lecture in The Grand Lecture Hall.

Academic Addendums:

• A brand new area which is the Academic District, which, besides the campus outdoors, includes...
• An entire Lecture Hall where you can actually attend a lecture (which we think is not boring - but some of the students do)
• An exquisitely British looking Grand Library where you can read a lot of books, sure, but also....
• A surprising and heart melting meeting for magically transformed animals - which hopefully will encourage you to interact with every critter around the world of Pendula
• A very profound AA meeting for people addicted to Dwarven Ale
• An entire Student Protest right in the campus, which you can help solve, if you wish
• The Stonefang shabby university for orcs, which lacks all kinds of resources but especially teachers
• Obviously, you will experience student campus life. Some students are .. URGH! Some are pretty cool, though! 
• Where there are students, there are also teachers. Some are extremely well known in their fields, and revered, too! Actually, more than revered - Brialynne can contribute to the beginning of a beautiful love story! ...or not. Your choice.
• ...and more! Are you ready to discover all the Academic secrets in Pendula Swing?

 More features for all the episodes:

• We added the ability to View Landmarks. Because they are pretty. And because we have a Dragon Statue - who doesn't want to admire that? The View Landmark also works in the cinema, so you can watch your movie like a proper person, in the speakeasy so you can admire the band, and pretty much for every notable landmark in game
• We added WASD support - you can also customise your keybindings! 
• Speaking about watching a movie like a normal person, Brialynne can now Sit Down. Not just at the cinema, but in general! For example, try sitting down in your home, or by the depressed orc in Old Town, or just take a well deserved rest in the Department Store 
• Brialynne can now pick up certain items such as flyers, flowers from her garden, shiny new chairs from the Pawn Shop in Business District, her axe (oups, that's kindof a spoiler)
• Brialynne can use these items redecorate her home and her environment as appropriate! Place fresh flowers on Taheena’s grave, redecorate your walls and place those new and comfy chairs in your kitchen!
• But you can't really redecorate your home and not clean it, though, can you? Now, unless Brialynne dates certain characters who might do the job for her, she can actually clean her home by herself
• We added Garbage Bins and Containers around the world! So now, Brialynne can actually empty her backpack like a civilized dwarf that she is
• We added a few more characters around the world and some really want to date Brialynne!
• Of course, we fixed the issues reported by our community - thank you so very much for your support!
