A downloadable Text RPG for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Partake in a futuristic cyberpunk/fantasy text adventure!


The game is made for HTML so you can just download it and open the "dramaturgy.html" file to play.


"When have I gotten here?"

Surrounded by comfort and nostalgia, there is nothing threatening about this, but in ny heart I can feel it. I am not supposed to be here, I do not belong here!
The further I advance I always find the same walls, as if electronic and all of them look futuristic, just like in the comics I used to read...

"What comics?"

I do not remember. Whether it is my name, my age, or any of the rest, I do not remember. And yet, I can remember something called comics as if it was a regular thing in my life, I can say words that I do not understand like electronic and futuristic... Just what am I? Who... Am I?

I have found several clues over the past few days— there were others like me, that is for sure, but all of us must have felt like something was missing.
Not just my memories but something more personal, something that makes my heart melt but at the same time shiver at the thought of it.
It started when I found her, the crimson lost girl, something or someone made us meet and create a... Friendship...

She remains in trouble and suffering, but I do not know if I will be able to save her with just my strength... That is what I fear the most, actually.
Even if I am able to survive this place, there is no guarantee that it will be over, for all I know there can be more cruel labyrinths like this... More suffering for her... If only it could end and leave her at peace, that would be enough.

Advance through the fantasy/cyberpunk dungeons in order to obtain freedom! Although this is a story-driven Text RPG, you still make your choices that can have different outcomes!

You follow the story of a "Forgotten One", whose species has the sole objective of advancing through the dungeons, but through it, you will find several characters who will need your help, just like the crimson lost girl. Your job with them is to help them... If not possible, avenge them. Get to the root of the problem and take revenge.

This is a plot-driven RPG, meaning that your progress will happen for the plot. You will still be able to explore, battle, etc. just like in a normal (text) rpg but it will follow a story. Which may be big, or not.

Venture through the dungeons as you level up gaining experience from various mobs! During your adventure you will find enumerous monsters that you can battle, most of them being part of a futuristic/cyberpunk theme, sometimes with a fantasy twist.

The "dungeon", this place you will venture, has enumerous rooms and floors, and in every one of them there is at least a safe room and/or a town or city where you can heal and rest, buy gear or necessary items, meet new people and possibily progress the story, maybe even getting some quests.

Although you will battle alone, certain characters may help you by giving you hints, items or something else that may help you in your playthrough.

While yes, this game contains some heavy content, and as such you should know that a lot of dark stuff will either happen or be mentioned, there is also something about images that you should expect.

And that is that there will only be a few of them (current zone + character if appliable).

Things like maps or certain items will receive an image.

It's simple, just click. And read.


As the game is in beta and thus not finished, your progress may or may not be lost when updating to newer versions. DO NOT change the browser you are using as your saves are only stored in the browser you use to play. If you change, you have to start over.


When updating the game, please replace the older version by copying and pasting everything on the older version. In theory, your browser will keep the information if you do that but it might still not work.
