It’s not an understatement to say that the 2017 top-down medieval adventure video game 9th Dawn (a.k.a. 9th Dawn: Classic – Clunky Controls Edition) is a cult game. Try googling it; I dare you.
But people who loved that game are in for a treat as it’s not only getting an updated edition this week called 9th Dawn: Remake, it’s also getting a prequel novel called 9th Dawn: The Book Of Nameless, which is available as a PDF in a bundle with the game, and will be released individually as an eBook later this year, and as a limited edition print edition in 2025.
In the following email interview, The Book Of Nameless author L.R. Gaunt discusses what inspired and influenced this prequel novel, while discussing how exactly it connects to the new version of the game.
