About the Game

The Story

The Legend of Abdal is all about making the correct decisions to ascend within the social fabric of Pakistani society. It is an alternate history text-based RPG where you play as Abdal, a humble Pakistani man living in the Mughal Empire in the year 1817.

You will face many obstacles across your journey to ascension. Will you be the one to overcome fate and defy the odds? Otherwise, you will be faced with the phrase "PEASANTS CAN'T WIN" once more, a stark reminder of the difficulty faced, even to this day, by Pakistanis in overcoming classism. However, if you shall rise to the occasion, your new fate shall find you well.
