The castle is an old ruin, older than anyone remembers. It had many owners in the past, now it houses Order of a Blind Knights, mysterious group tasked with fighting Eternal Darkness. The many still functioning traps and contraptions are perfect for training new apprentices.
Beacuse of that, each level poses danger that is difficult to overcome by itself - double so when you have to do it blinded. Luckily, you can count on several things to help you. Using your memory you can learn and remember placement of all traps. Listening to the music and sounds of the castle warns you about incoming danger. Pulsing metronome helps you with rhythm of every level. Yes - every level has it's rhythm and it is the key to finishing the level.
You are put into shoes (and armor) of a young apprentice simply called The Kid. He is the one going through all the dangers, trapping and trials of an old and crumbling castle. The think is, he doesn't remember how he got there. He didn't lose his memories, he just... doesn't know where he came from and how he ended up in this strange place.
He meets an unlikely patron - a mysterious shrouded man takes him under his protection and guides him on his path. He talks about Eternal Darkness, Order of Blind Knights and inescapable destiny calling. The Kid is unsure and confused - in fact, he is sure he doesn't want any of this. But it dawns on him there might be no other choice...
A Knight Never Yields follows a story of bravery, discovery and acceptance in a world that might be not what it seems at a first glance. It's up to you to discover it's secret.
