Grim Quest - Old School RPG

Part dungeon crawler, part choose-your-own-adventure book, Grim Quest blends turn-based combat and roguelike mechanics with the kind of written storytelling and worldbuilding you'd expect from a solo tabletop campaign, all the while respecting your time. If you love getting lost in dark fantasy worlds, this one has plenty to get lost in, even in short, bit-sized sessions. "When the Dark closes in, your own mind is your worst enemy..." Welcome to Ashborne, an ancient city teetering on the brink of destruction and madness. Take control of one of its many hired mercenaries, and shape the city's destiny alongside your own. Explore the ruins of a fallen civilization and, at the same time, plumb the hidden depths of your own mind to face your inner demons. Uncover sinister secrets of the Dark, a mysterious force that ended an era of prosperity. What will you find amidst all that horror and desolation? Do you even know what you're looking for? " "Mundane human failings eat at the core of Ashborne from within, just as the hordes of eldritch horrors, shaped by subconscious thoughts of its own inhabitants, besiege it from without." *** FEATURES *** immerse in a rich dark fantasy setting with its own history and lore defeat unique enemies and fight boss battles in a classic turn-based combat system manage your character's sanity or suffer unexpected consequences customize your character in a classless system with more than 50 skills and spells select one of 27 character backgrounds that each affect gameplay in a different way experience the game world through a variety of interactive, text-based events manage defences of a besieged city, endure raids and other calamities tailor your experience with 4 difficulty levels, optional permadeath and other adjustable settings play at your own pace, completing a single dungeon run in a few minutes, or sink into hours-long sessions "Can you bring a glimmer of hope to a decaying world gone mad... and at what cost?"
