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.

還行游戲,玩了一周,玩到一半才發現要控好感度,重開了, ~20個小時破關,玩的無限日數 感覺多周目意義不大,沒有玩了。
enjoyed the gameplay loop a lot, lotta reading but feels like a single player d&d campaign
I didn't know what to expect when I bought this during the 2026 Summer Sale, after having it Wishlisht for a time. But I miss tabletop roleplaying and haven't had the energy to do solo RP despite having all the tools and the experience as a GM. After a few hours in, I find I kind of like this game. It really scratches an itch I know I've had for years. And I haven't engaged in any real combat as of yet, just going about exploring and actually using the nice word-based search system to good use in the Dolmen (hint hint). It's also refreshing some things and actually teaching me new ones about running a tabletop RP session and campaign. I prefer scifi and modern over fantasy, but this is a really, really good and simple game with a really, really good and simple system. In my age, simple systems seem best. I think I can actually run something like this using 24xx, even if SWAdE is my preferred system. Kudos to the team. Sorry for being late to the road.
Mám moc rád příběhová RPGčka, líbil se mi koncept Roadwardena a držel jsem mu palce, ale celkově mě to nějak nechytlo. Všechno je tady totiž hrozně, ale hrozně pomalé. Hra není vyloženě špatně napsaná, ale než se řekne něco podstatného, tak to jsou stohy a stohy textu. Hodně jsem u toho myslel na jinou textovou hru Suzerain, která mi přišla skvělá (a moc doporučuju!). V ní je totiž text použitý k tomu, aby vyexponoval pozadí pro nějaké rozhodnutí. Pak to rozhodnutí uděláte, má to důsledky, a posunete se dál. To je feedback loop, která vás nějak drží v pozoru. Tady jsou odstavce textu o tom jak vás tlačí boty, jak vypadá poloostrov, jak šumí vítr, co si kdo myslí o životě... a někde v tom nekonečném čtení mě to vlastně přestalo zajímat. Rád jsem podpořil indie hru, ale nebyla to láska.
I really enjoyed this game for most part. Think its worth a play through, the only downside is that I think the ending really lets it down. I dont want to get too spoilery, but I was really dissapointed. If the ending had just had a little more ompth I'd have replayed this multiple times, instead its a once and done thing. Still fun and worth it for the very cheap steam sale price it was. I just wish the ending was more interesting to make this a instant fave instead of a ... meh.
Fun text adventure game. Make sure to make notes!
