Dungeon

Dungeon is a text-based open-world role-playing-game. You are in control of the life of a character that wakes up with a headache and can't remember exactly what happened to him. You need to do your best to equip yourself to explore Darrowmere scavenging for powerful and valuable treasure.

You are completely free to explore Darrowmere however you want. Be it slaying the most terrible creatures, drinking milk directly from cows, or reading books found in the world to learn about its history and the lives of some of the Commons (the human-like race of Darrowmere) that lived there. Some books may even teach your character magical spells that give him some advantage when dealing with the aberrations roaming the land.

The world is randomly generated, making each and every experience unique. There is also an in-game wiki with a lot of information about the different facets of the game. You can also browse the wiki online.
