About
A brave stranger putting your life on the line to make a difference in this grim fantasy world. While most people would never risk a solitary journey through the wilder parts of the land, you willingly accept the struggle. You guard travellers, connect isolated villages, support merchants, and repel attacking creatures, bandits, or even undead.
A powerful merchant guild has called on your services, sending you on a journey into the unknown planes of a mysterious peninsula in the hopes to expand the guild’s influence even further. Explore this world and gather as much information as possible to reveal the secrets surrounding the area. It’s a dangerous task, but an equally respectable one.
Roadwarden is an illustrated text-based RPG that uses isometric pixel art and combines mechanics borrowed from RPGs, Visual Novels, adventure games, and interactive fiction, such as inventory puzzles, dialogue choices, character abilities and progression, hit points, simple survival mechanics or quests restricted by in-game time.

This plays like an interactive book but I just couldn't connect with the lore and story in any way.
Absolute masterpiece. Possibly the best video game ever made. A profoundly intimate struggle to investigate and understand what life and humanity mean. A formative philosophical experience.
One of my favorite games. It is a lot of reading, but it's worth it. If you don't blink at the thickness of a high fantasy novel, and enjoy diving into an entirely different world than our own, then I insist you simply must play this game. I have played it more than two dozen times through, and I continue to get new interactions I did not even know were possible. Some things are repetitive if you play as much as I do, but for me, getting the new outcomes from complicated interactions in a game is so worth the effort.
能战斗爽能当英雄还能搞政斗,真好玩吧。lgbt友好加分
The game is similar to titles like Age of Decadence, but it feels like there's not much depth to the outcome of quests or the main story and it's mainly just about managing resources. The feature that makes you specifically type, instead of just choosing dialogue options, is very unique and I enjoyed that a lot. All in all it can be fun if you're into RPGs
This game healed me in ways I didn't even know, such a beautiful atmosphere and rich storytelling.
Amazing worldbuilding, gripping soundtrack and fantastic narrative that is built on your interaction with the world and characters. Lots of reading (positive)
Отличная игра. Читать надо много, но затягивает 8/10
[h3] 장점 [/h3] @ 독자적인 디테일이 돋보이는 냉정한 로우 판타지 세계관 @ 적절한 조화를 이루는 텍스트 어드벤처의 추리와 탐사, 그리고 롤플레잉의 선택과 성장 @ 자연스럽고 매끄러운 유저 제작 한국어 번역 패치 [h3] 단점 [/h3] @ 다소 모호하게 끝나는 메인 퀘스트의 결말
Lots of reading, but I enjoyed the game and story. The soundtrack is also good. Would not recommend to those who don't like reading.
