Trawel is a historically-inaccurate, open-world role-playing game that plays entirely in your system's text terminal. It uses a simple input system where you press a number key (1-9) followed by Enter to interact with the world, making it naturally accessible for screen reader users.
Unlike many RPGs where you cultivate a single character for weeks, Trawel is designed around "disposable" heroes. The main game mode casts you as an immortal character who, after dying, comes back to life. This encourages you to roll new characters and explore the world in different ways for an afternoon or two. The charm of the game lies in its deep, numerically complex combat mechanics and the "trawling" of dungeons to loot enemies and find wealth.
Your journey is one of exploration and growth. The wealth you accumulate can be spent on better equipment to face tougher challenges, or it can be invested in building up town locations. The game doesn't require any special permissions to run and includes files to help you start the command prompt with the game already running, making it easy to jump right into your next adventure.
