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

Eldrum: Black Dust, a new choose-your-own-adventure RPG, is now available on iOS and Android. This dark fantasy title, inspired by Middle Eastern settings, offers players a captivating experience with multiple endings, diverse character classes, and engaging D&D-style turn-based combat.

Fans of the classic Fighting Fantasy books will find themselves right at home. Eldrum: Black Dust retains the core choose-your-own-adventure element, letting players shape the narrative through crucial decisions. However, it goes beyond simple text choices, incorporating richer gameplay mechanics. Players navigate a sprawling world, engaging in tactical combat and developing their chosen character class.

Priced at just $8.99, Eldrum: Black Dust features stunning original artwork, immersive audio, and multiple branching storylines, ensuring high replayability. Experiment with different choices and character classes to uncover all the game has to offer.

Beyond Simple Choices

Many choose-your-own-adventure games lack significant interactivity beyond making choices. Eldrum: Black Dust cleverly addresses this by integrating light TTRPG-style combat and other mechanics, similar to the approach used in some early Fighting Fantasy books.

With its original art and music, branching narrative, and compelling combat system, Eldrum: Black Dust offers a compelling experience. While it may not appeal to genre skeptics, fans of CYOA games seeking something fresh and engaging will find it a rewarding title. Consider it an early Christmas gift to yourself!
