The Secret of Weepstone is a hand drawn black-and-white dungeon crawler that resurrects the spirit of 1980s D&D tabletop roleplaying.
Taking place in the desperate village of Weepstone, in The Secret of Weepstone six ordinary villagers venture into a foreboding keep to uncover the source of their lord’s mysterious illness. The game embraces old-school RPG mechanics with physical dice rolls determining your fate during combat and skill checks. You’ll navigate treacherous puzzles, face meticulously hand-drawn monsters, and outfit your expanding party with discovered equipment.
One clever touch is its unique “Mortal Favors” system – character’s permanently die, but when they, they grant special abilities that persist through your journey. With no predestined heroes to save the day, only careful planning and a little luck will help these ordinary folk unravel the dark mysteries corrupting their once-thriving home.
It’s a very clever way of making a digital D&D style adventure that embraces everything that makes the tabletop games so popular. The hand drawn artwork and voice acting are excellent too, and there’s even a little humor in there too. Highly recommended.
