Ember Crown (v0.1)

A dark fantasy text RPG set in a kingdom on the edge of collapse. Follow a trail of rumours from a quiet village inn to ancient ruins hiding something that was never meant to be found.

This is an early first playable — expect rough edges, limited polish, and placeholder visuals. The core systems are in place: exploration across multiple locations, branching NPC dialogue, a quest journal, and three different endings depending on the choices you make.

There's a real story here with real consequences. It's just getting started.

What's in this build:

• 11 locations across 3 acts
• 15 NPCs with branching conversations
• Quest journal that tracks your progress
• 3 endings — none of them clean
• Save & load

Feedback welcome. More content, polish, inventory, and combat coming in future builds.
