Roadwarden

My dear Roadwarden: I adored this game's prose, a well written world were you go to a peninsula as a roadwarden (alas, a person who takes care of stuff that happens on the roads) in hopes of connecting the locals to the city's merchant guild and sort of "colonize" them. It is very well written, from small thoughtful parts mixed with the sounds and music that manage to immerse you in this beautiful world, to very long paragraphs with lots of very interesting lore and worldbuilding. Nobody here has a horse or any means of travel besides you, and the land is brimming with monsters and dangerous animals that coexist with the locals on a daily basis, so apart from trying to keep the roads safe, you are also tasked with lots of small quests, from telling something to a certain someone, delivering a package, or investigating some ruins and seeing if there’s still monsters around. The game's attention to detail, not only in the big important stuff but also in small cultural differences like your horse being treated as a beast everywhere you go, human bodies referred to as shells/vessels, the wright as the main divine figure in the empire, or dragon bones/rings as money, really grabs and invests you in its world. A choose-your-adventure text-based RPG where no choice really feels like the correct one; the game does not deal in absolutes, and it's up to the players' moral compass to see where the story is driven to. I was amazed by the "what do you do parts” where you can type anything and the game gives you a response; very fun. I also enjoyed that money was scarce, and you simply could not buy everything you wanted on a single playthrough My only downside is the combat; I was expecting something much more strategy-oriented, but after all it's more of having the best gear possible before the battle and everything will come out good, except for a few insta-deaths where you just have to reload until you decipher the correct option. Not really a deep combat system, and I also was expecting more stuff with magic since I picked the mage class, but after that initial letdown I got used to it and just focused on the story. It's very immersive from the moment you boot it up, and I played through 2 endings, with the one [spoiler]where you stay in the peninsula being my favorite one[/spoiler]. I loved the game, and 2 months after playing it, I still sometimes think about it. For sure goes to my top 50!

I'm enjoying this very much, can easily recommend
