Things to know before you buy:

Explore the remnants of the ancient city of San Francisco and engage in dynamic combat in this RPG text game.

Imagine a world where goblins, ogres, and dragons are not mere products of imagination. What if our ancestors were unknowingly predicting the future? Step into that future, centuries from now, amidst the ruins of what used to be the 21st century - a world where these terrifying creatures roam freely...

Heavily inspired by modern tabletop RPGs like Dungeon World, this game places you in the role of a young necromancer on a quest. Battle monsters, resurrect the dead, and navigate the remains of San Francisco's ancient city.

Features:

• Dynamic Combat: Experience combat that goes beyond standard mechanics. You can cleave off an opponent's leg and use it as a weapon! An advanced Natural Language Generation system will explain the unfolding events in plain English.
• Choose Wisely: Every decision you make during battle carries consequences. A mistake could lead to the loss of recruits from your party.
• A Vibrant, Evolving World: Instead of relying solely on pre-written content, much of the game's text is dynamically generated. The world continues to progress even when you're not actively involved.
• Quick Gameplay: Dive right into the action! The game offers automatic saving and eliminates loading screens.

This game is a passionate collaboration between writer-programmer Filip Hracek and illustrator Alec Webb. Although it is relatively short, taking approximately 90 minutes to complete, it is a testament to their dedication.

The gameplay experience aligns more closely with traditional tabletop role-playing games than with conventional computer RPGs. Instead of presenting players with numerical data and flashy graphics, the game describes the unfolding events, mimicking the role of a dungeon master. However, meticulous tracking and calculations occur behind the scenes, eliminating the need for complex tables or tactical maps.
