Path of Adventure
About
Path of Adventure is a text-based RPG, for mobile. A game made out of words and choices.
You mean it's Interactive Fiction?
Not quite. IF tends to be very story-focused, with choices that move the player down some branch of the story-arc. Path of Adventure is very gameplay-focused. It's a world in which you control a character, creating your own story along the way.
Like those old text-adventures?
Not really. Those games are very puzzle-based, with a number of pre-defined solutions. Path of Adventure is full of surprises and requires tactics and strategy to win.
So how does it play?
It plays a lot like a Roguelike with turn-based action. It centers around battling monsters, exploring dungeons and going on quests. You'll find items and weapons and use them effectively.
Then why text?
Because text is awesome! It triggers the imagination which is super powerful. And also because I'm making this game by my own and I'm a terrible artist ;)
