Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Daon is a 3D indie computer RPG for Windows that blends old‑school turn-based combat with sharp humor and high adventure. It plays at your pace while delivering tactical battles, quirky dialogue, and a story that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

You lead a team of misfits rather than flawless heroes: Arianna, a dainty warrior with an attitude; Dirk, an adrenaline‑junkie rogue who isn’t keen on subtlety; Benjamin, a nature-priest still finding his footing in adventuring; and Chloe, a ditsy sorceress who loves cute animals and loves to set enemies on fire. In a world where veteran fortune-hunters are being mortally defeated by better-prepared foes, the Frayed Knights—the world’s least glamorous champions—may be what civilization needs to endure a resurgent evil.

From taverns to Adventurer’s Guildhalls, rumors speak of a return of the ancient threat that nearly destroyed civilization. The Skull of S'makh-Daon looms in the background as you assemble your unlikely party, navigate treacherous dungeons, and uncover the twists of a world that rewards grit, wit, and a little bit of luck.
