Prelude to Darkness: Early 0's Era Freeware Dark Fantasy RPG
« on: February 08, 2017, 05:09:41 pm »

While scrolling about in a thread on the Iron Tower Studio forum I saw this game mentioned and decided to download it and give it a shot. Haven't played too terribly much of it, but it seems pretty interesting and since there isn't really any active forum to talk about it I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread here.

Story is that there are two major bloodlines River and Flame which have lived in relative peace for 1000 years until recently when a large famine and plague hit. Both of which ended up sparking an ethnic conflict between the Flame and River and a bunch of other really bad things. This causes The Watcher (some sort of governor guy) to summon your band of heroes to quell the rebellion and hopefully stabilize the region. There's a lot more lore to it than just that on the zerosum website if you're curious about the details.

Original website. Downloads don't work, use the one below.

Download link. This isn't the latest version of the game, (that's 1.8 ) but it is apparently a lot more stable than latest so it's the one I'm uploading. If you want 1.8 you can get it off a thread in the RPG Codex forum linked to on the zero-sum website. I'm not going to link it here since some of the sigs of users have racist and homophobic slurs in them, and I'd rather not go anywhere near that if I don't have to.
