Beyond Simple Choices

Many choose-your-own-adventure games lack significant interactivity beyond simple choices. Eldrum: Black Dust stands apart by incorporating light TTRPG combat mechanics, a feature reminiscent of early Fighting Fantasy books and a common tool for introducing players to tabletop RPG systems.

With its original art, music, branching storyline, and combat system, Eldrum: Black Dust offers a compelling experience. While it might not appeal to genre skeptics, fans of CYOA games will find it a rewarding adventure. Consider it an early holiday treat!
