Roadwarden, an impressive text-adventure RPG has a new demo

Roadwarden, an upcoming game that doesn't quite fit into a particular genre but takes elements from RPGs and text adventures has a fresh demo.

It's not a full-blown text adventure, as it's illustrated with some pretty sweet art and it's focused a lot on your actual character more like a traditional exploration RPG. So it's a big hybrid of text adventuring, an RPG, an interactive novel and whatever else. It quite impressed me when taking a look late last year, and the developer has since kept tinkering away towards the full game.

While the actual release has been delayed, likely now more likely to arrive in 2021 they have provided a fresh demo with a ton of enhancements. This includes an updated UI, new visuals, narration, dialogue choices, music, the font, worldbuilding and more. The developer is clear it won't be for everyone but they said "I think it’s getting to a very promising point of succeeding at what it attempts to do".

I'm not even usually one to go through a text-adventure but Roadwarden is impressive. If you want to try something a little different, dip your toes into the updated demo from itch.io or Steam.
