What is the game all about?

Legend of the Ash Mountain is a dark-fantasy, text-driven RPG with a retro ASCII soul. It is built around dangerous journeys, hard choices, and the feeling of reading your way through a living world.

The goal is to capture that classic old-school text adventure energy while presenting it in a more modern way: cleaner interface, richer atmosphere, and smoother moment-to-moment play.

Style and atmosphere

Expect moody ASCII visuals, text-first storytelling, and a bleak world shaped by ash, steel, and rumor. The design leans into imagination and tone instead of spectacle, while still aiming for modern responsiveness.

Can you tell me anything else?

The prototype is being developed in Godot with C#, and systems are still evolving quickly.

There is no public build link yet. For now, the announcement video is the best public look at the direction.

Roadmap direction

Development is focused on expanding content, deepening the world, and refining the retro text-and-ASCII experience.
