Bael's Rock

Bael's Rock is a parser-based text adventure set in a vast desert, where you make your way toward the summit of a towering mountain. Inside Bael’s Rock, you face ancient trials and cryptic puzzles as you search for long-buried secrets and the truth about the shadowy figure who brought you there. The fantasy setting includes light steampunk elements and hidden lore.

Explore and solve

You type your own commands to control your character and interact with the world, rather than choosing from predefined options. Examine your surroundings, search for and combine items, manipulate strange mechanisms and solve puzzles. The journey spans seven chapters, each with new challenges. The first chapter introduces the story and teaches the basics; after that, you face increasingly complex puzzles on your way to the summit.

Text and accessibility

Bael’s Rock is fully text-based and calls for patience, focus and an interest in reading. Retro mode removes the graphics and focuses on readability. The game is fully playable without sound; its sound effects are minor and optional.
