Trawel

Trawel is a historically inaccurate open-world text adventure RPG focused on exploration, equipment and choice-oriented combat. You explore abstract environments, find better gear and decide whether to use or sell it.

World and presentation

The environments are partly procedural and partly handcrafted. Visuals serve as aids rather than determining gameplay. The game reimagines old-school calculator and early command-line games, retaining their spirit while using a graphical interface.

Combat and choices

Combat is opportunistic and choice-oriented: you make decisions as encounters unfold.

Ways to play

The graphical version has a mouse, controller and keyboard interface. The game also boots in text-only mode, which is compatible with most screen readers.
