The Road Remembers
A roguelite told in plain words. Each seed is a road, and each hero who walks it leaves their mark: the thing they took stays taken, the village they saved holds a feast for the next stranger, their cairn holds their sword, and the guardian they fought is still wounded. The road remembers.

About This Game

Here walked Nestor, a Prince in Disguise,

who carried Ivo out of the dark,
and claimed the Ivory Blade of the Hermit of Kell, and walked home.

The road and its people remember every one.

There is no time pressure, though your actions shape the future. (This game is turn-based, and "choices matter".)
