6 itemsAbout the Game
Old tales tell of an island across the Silver Lake... A bustling island, once filled with people and treasures innumerable. Now, the island is dead and empty, and the only tale that anyone still tells is that of the Egg.
It is a dark thing.
A thing that will grant any wish you desire.
And it is a thing... you must get.
In this text adventure RPG, you travel by boat to an old island, intent on finding the Dark Egg. You will meet many strange people, and encounter things that should not exist, yet stare you in the face regardless.
Every choice you make matters and shapes the story. You will solve puzzles, face enemies, and must explore every corner of the island to make it to your Egg.
Of course, not everyone can make it. Perhaps you might find your ending somewhere else, or, like the others, decide your goals have changed along the way.
The Egg will wait. It always has, and always will. You just have to take it.
