Eldrum: Black Dust is a text-based RPG set in a dark fantasy world, out now for iOS and Android

by Aiden Jan 05,2025

Eldrum: Black Dust, a captivating choose-your-own-adventure RPG, is now available on iOS and Android. Journey through a dark fantasy world inspired by the Middle East, shaping your destiny through crucial decisions.

This isn't your typical CYOA; Eldrum: Black Dust offers engaging D&D-style turn-based combat, diverse character classes, and multiple story endings. Think of it as a modern update to the classic Fighting Fantasy books, blending narrative choice with interactive gameplay.

Priced at just $8.99, the game features original artwork, immersive sound design, and high replayability thanks to varied choices and character classes.

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!
