C:\raft

C:\raft is a text-heavy game in which you explore dungeons generated from files on your hard drive to gather materials and craft items for the Crafting Goddess Joann. A human chosen by this trans-dimensional entity must do her bidding, though the game has little story beyond that premise.

File-based dungeons

You choose files on your hard drive to generate the dungeons. Larger files create larger dungeons, while file types determine the kinds of loot you can find. Dungeons are randomly generated, and you can use the menus and tools available to collect items and serve Joann.

Randomized crafting

Items, craftables and monsters receive randomly generated names with randomly selected adjectives. The requirements for crafting items are random too, and you can reach your goal in multiple ways. The crafting is a fetch quest: explore, collect what you need and make the items Joann has requested.

Exploration and combat

The game includes boss fights and an unpredictable play time. You can find loot and explore, but you can also die. Its hand-drawn pixel art accompanies a range of ways to play.

Manuals and mechanics

The game explains its systems through dialogue, tooltips and in-game manuals. You may need to read the manuals to understand more complex mechanics and unlock new parts of the game. It is designed for quick play sessions, though players new to roguelikes may find it less welcoming.
