Roadwarden is an interactive fantasy novel with its own world and traditions, you are here on a mission and to reach the end you will need to unravel all the secrets and resolve them as you see fit.

It was my first time playing a text-based game, it was a bit hard and confusing at the start, but when you get into the real plot lines… you get engrossed into the story to the point of playing for hours. As someone unused to text-based, I had the hardest time with prompt parts of the game, but it really comes to remembering what you heard/read before. However, I would have never guessed to look for a gossiper in Gale Rocks (most heavy on prompts area). There are many outcomes and ending heavily depends on them, really enjoyed reading post-summary of my playthrough and how my choices affected the ending. Of course, there is low probability of you getting perfect ending first time, but it was enjoyable to use knowledge from first playthrough on second to achieve it. Some may even enjoy playing this game on day limit (I am filthy casual <.<).

Played this game on pc and steam deck (2 playthroughs), both have pros and cons. On pc easier to scroll and type prompts, on deck easier to enjoy experience cuz it’s more like playing a book (more comfy to sit and read for hours).

Very Food, A small but decent, lonely story.

4/10 (boring)
