Silk

Silk is an exploration RPG set on the Ancient Silk Road in 200 AD. You travel across three million square miles of uncharted terrain, from Roman Damascus to Three Kingdoms China, as either an intrepid traveller or a ruthless conqueror. Its world is fifty times larger than Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall.

Four challenges

Choose from four distinct challenges, each with a different goal:

• The Traveller: journey across dangerous wilderness along the Silk Road.
• The Rebel: overthrow Rome’s greatest enemy, the powerful Parthian Empire.
• The Warlord: raid rival kingdoms to capture their fortunes.
• The Noble: build a trading empire amid the Silk Road’s battlegrounds.

Build your party

You can level up any seven of the game’s thousands of Advisors as you hire a party. Each Advisor unlocks hundreds of unique choices in the world. Battle, trade or explore as you build a well-provisioned caravan or raise a renegade army.

Tile-based role-playing

Silk uses keyboard controls and a square-based, tile-based design. It revisits the tile-based RPG format of Eye of the Beholder and The Bard’s Tale.
