About Eschalon: Book I
Eschalon: Book I is a single-player role-playing game about uncovering the mystery of who you are. You explore vast outdoor areas and dozens of sprawling dungeons in a tile-built world where actions are resolved through rolls, calculations or statistical outcomes.
Explore the world
The story is non-linear, and you can follow it or explore on your own. The world does not scale to your character, so where you go and how successfully you develop your character affect the difficulty. You will encounter dozens of creatures and discover hundreds of items, including randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden finds; each playthrough can differ.
Develop your character
You can shape your character with 24 skills and 8 base attributes, which affect every action. Managing skills, choosing equipment and using magic are central to succeeding in fights. Combat is turn-based and proceeds at your pace, giving you time to consider your options or move through encounters more quickly.
