SteamAbout The Adventure of Fred - The traveler's dial -
A RACE AGAINST DARKNESS
The adventure of Fred is a return to RPG roots: unforgiving and without hand-holding. You explore a vast procedural world where time is not on your side.
•
The Growing Threat: The world evolves. If you spend too much time farming resources, Dungeon Bosses gain power levels. You must weaken their defenses by eliminating their minion camps.
SURVIVAL MUST BE EARNED
Forget about auto-regeneration. Here, every night is an ordeal.
•
Campsite Management: At night, you must pass survival tests (Fire, Cooking, Healing) to recover your mental state and health. Fail at camp, and you are already doomed for the next day.
•
Limited Resources: Hunt, fish, and gather. Markets offer powerful gear, but prices are exorbitant for a beginner adventurer.
LIGHT IS YOUR WEAPON
The 12 Dungeons hold the fragments of the Traveler's Dial, but they are plunged into total darkness.
•
Blindness Mechanic: In the dark, your dexterity and agility drop to zero. You can neither hit enemies nor dodge attacks.
•
Prepare Yourself: Torches cannot be bought. You must understand the game's ecosystem, hunt specific creatures, and master crafting to hope to see what hides in the shadows.
A WORLD OF SECRETS
•
Narrative and Random: Riddles, multiple-choice encounters, and mysterious NPCs scatter the map.
•
Free Progression: Blocked caves, unknown points of interest... Place your manual markers so you never lose track of a discovery. It is up to you to map and understand this world. No one will hold your hand.
Will you reassemble the Traveler's Dial or end up forgotten in a dark cave?
