Classic 2D Platformer Knytt Arrives on Steam and GOG Free

The 2006 indie platformer Knytt has received a modern PC port, launching on Steam and GOG as a free download. Originally released twenty years ago, the title established an early cult following as one of the internet's breakout indie projects.
