The realm is falling. Only you can stop it.

Deep in the kingdom of Frostwynd, an ancient evil stirs. The Shadow Crown - a relic of terrifying power - has awakened. Villages burn. The dead walk. And every hero who rode out to face it... never came back.

Now it's your turn.

The Shadow Crown is a classic text adventure RPG that puts you at the centre of an epic fantasy quest. No graphics telling you what to think. No cutscenes holding your hand. Just you, your imagination, and the words you type. Exactly like the legendary games of the 1980s - reimagined for your pocket.

YOUR QUEST AWAITS
Start in a quiet village square with nothing but a few gold coins and a rumour about a hooded stranger at the inn. From there, the world opens up. Talk to fortune tellers. Hire blacksmiths to forge legendary weapons. Outwit a midnight merchant who only appears after dark. Decode ancient ciphers. Free captive fire drakes. Track wolves through haunted forests. And slowly - if you survive - piece together the truth behind the Shadow Crown.

Every choice matters. Every NPC has a story. Every dungeon hides a secret.

EXPLORE A LIVING WORLD
Journey through 20+ hand-crafted locations - moonlit village squares, goblin camps, sacred groves, mountain peaks, frozen ice caves, crumbling ruins, torch-lit catacombs, a necromancer's chamber, and finally... the dragon's lair itself. Locations change as you progress. Defeat the vampire lord and the crypts feel different. Complete a quest and the village remembers.

FIGHT, LEVEL UP, CRAFT
Take on 15+ enemy types - from lowly goblins and bandit leaders to terrifying bosses like the Vampire Lord, the Necromancer Malachar, and Scorathax the ancient dragon with 150HP and fire breath that'll melt your armour on the spot. Gain XP, level up your stats, learn powerful spells like Fireball, and visit the blacksmith to forge weapons of legend — the Legendary Blade, the Frost-enchanted sword, Dragon Scale Armour. The better prepared you are, the better your chances. But even fully kitted out, the final boss will test everything you've got.

SOLVE DEVIOUS PUZZLES
Four hand-crafted puzzles stand between you and your goal. Crack rune sequences in sacred groves. Activate ice pillars in the correct order before the cave collapses. Follow wolf tracks through a darkened forest. Decode an ancient cipher to unlock a scholar's true identity. Skip them at your peril, each one unlocks abilities and rewards that could save your life later.

10+ QUESTS WITH REAL STAKES
This isn't a world that waits around for you. A hermit on the mountain needs rare ice crystals. A fortune teller has lost a priceless amulet somewhere in the deep crypts. An innkeeper has a rat problem that's stranger than it sounds. A corrupted oak tree is dying and only blessed water can save it. Complete these quests and you'll be rewarded with gold, powerful enchantments and permanent stat boosts. Ignore them and you'll face the final boss under-equipped and overmatched.

MULTIPLE ENDINGS
When you finally hold the Shadow Crown in your hands — what will you do with it? Wear it? Destroy it? Hand it to the mystic? The choice is yours. But every ending is earned, not given.

NO ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO NONSENSE.
One game. Complete. Pay nothing extra, ever. The Shadow Crown is a love letter to the era when games respected your time and rewarded your intelligence.

Inspired by the golden age of 1980s text adventures. Built for 2026.
