You are the Dark Queen—the most powerful being of your entire universe. Your lair is breached by an aspiring hero—a pitiful thing, easily crushed. Except they keep coming back. A 20 minute anti-game about an unconventional relationship and the capacity for change.

TheSixthAxisAran SuddiAug 20259/10For those who enjoy an experience that delves into questions about life and purpose, as well as having access to some powerful attacks, The Dark Queen of Mortholme packs a punch. It may only be 20 minutes long, but this is worth experiencing for yourself.

TheBigBoisZachary HolmesSep 20258.5/10The Dark Queen of Mortholme is short, simple, and occasionally frustrating, but it’s also heartfelt, unique, and thought-provoking. Its pixel art is lovely, its music haunting, and its story concise yet impactful. If you approach it expecting a traditional action game, you may walk away unsatisfied. But if you accept it for what it is—a narrative-driven exploration of persistence, change, and perspective—you’ll likely find its half-hour runtime well worth the investment. – ColdMoon
