Eldrum: Black Dust is a text-based RPG set in a dark fantasy world, out now for iOS and Android

Eldrum: Black Dust, a captivating choose-your-own-adventure RPG, is now available on iOS and Android. Journey through a dark fantasy world inspired by the Middle East, encountering multiple endings, diverse character classes, and engaging D&D-style turn-based combat.

Fans of the classic Fighting Fantasy books will find familiar territory in Eldrum's branching narrative, where player choices directly shape the story's outcome. However, Eldrum goes beyond simple text choices, offering richer gameplay mechanics. Explore a detailed dark fantasy setting, engage in tactical combat, and select from various character classes, adding significant depth to the choose-your-own-adventure experience.

Priced at just $8.99, Eldrum: Black Dust delivers stunning original art, immersive audio, and multiple endings to uncover. The combination of strategic combat and branching narrative ensures high replayability, encouraging players to experiment with different choices and classes.

Beyond Simple Choices

A common limitation of choose-your-own-adventure games is their often limited interactivity. Eldrum: Black Dust cleverly addresses this by incorporating light TTRPG-style combat and other engaging mechanics, similar to the approach used in some early Fighting Fantasy books and modern introductory RPGs.

With its unique art and music, branching storyline, and tactical combat, Eldrum: Black Dust offers a compelling experience for fans of the genre. While it might not convert genre skeptics, those seeking a fresh, immersive CYOA adventure will find it a rewarding experience – perhaps even an early Christmas gift to themselves.
