      It has been a fun game so far (I've put in about 7 hours) but at least on steam if you look at the achievements global percentage it looks like a lot of people are falling off before beating the forest temple which is the first dungeon.

    Dark Throne seems to be framerate-dependent. The accelerated idle animations and fast stamina regen kind of tip it off. This might also have affected the rest of the game. If anyone for any god-forsaken reason is going to play it, unplug your GPU or use Rivatuner or something to limit the framerate to say, 30 or 60.

    👋 Hey there, Morbid's developer here, checking in!
    Thank you for covering the game, appreciate it!
    I feel the urge to explain myself a little though! This is going to sound like a bit of an excuse, and maybe it is? Here we go..
    For me, personally, the development of Morbid was the most stressful time of my entire life.
    We had a-lot of issues trying to find suitable programmers for the game, and long story short, about 90% of all of the code that made it's way in to the game, was written by me.
    I'm not saying this to brag, though it may sound like it. But Morbid was planned to have atleast two full-time coders.
    The whole team behind Morbid was 5-6 people, which is just way too few for the scale of a game that Morbid is, and for the time we had to make the game happen (originally one year, but we had to get 6 additional months to finish the game)
    Unfortunately, we've had to move on to new things already. But the good news is, we learnt a-lot from Morbid. The game was succesful enough that we're Still Running (ha), and we were able to get a funding for our next title!
    The team has since grown to 9, and we're still looking for one more to join.
    We've changed engines, and we have clearer idea what to do next, and better planning in general.
    Fingers crossed this time around things will go a bit smoother 🤞
    Maybe we'll see again, Mr Pineapple, in a year or two.
    Sorry for the wall of text, carry on people ✌

    The boss at about 16:40, "El Cyd" might be meant to be "El Cid", who's sort of the Spanish equivalent of King Arthur - he was actually a real person (unlike King Arthur), but he's mostly known today because he's got a really well known epic poem that mythologizes his life. I wonder if the game's made by a Spanish person, it'd explain the bad grammar in the achievements.
