Our take on The RPG
Rather than treating fantasy RPG conventions as fixed systems, the game turns them into part of the setting: healing, loot, dungeon maintenance, respawning monsters, and rule-breaking all receive an in-world explanation.
What is The RPG?
This RPG-lite adventure places dungeon exploration inside an Adventure Island attraction.
Adventurers buy a ticket, pass through a turnstile, take an elevator, and select a dungeon floor. Exploration involves fighting, looting, gaining experience, leveling up, and managing torches, targets, moves, and ammunition. Traditional systems are deliberately simplified: bread is used directly on wounds, collected items become loot sold by weight, and leveling exists without complex skill trees or detailed inventory sorting. The island’s administration maintains traps, torches, and monster recovery between raids. Beneath this managed attraction are hidden secrets, a repeating monster cycle, and a Glitchy Dragon that breaks the game’s rules. Choices affect the story, including whether to investigate the dragon’s plan.
