A world to wander
One seamless overworld, from the town of Morningside to the fields and graves beyond. Days pass on the world’s own calendar, the moon waxes and wanes, and the weather turns.
An open-world multiplayer dungeon, played in your terminal.
play.moonlapse.net
Moonlapse is a multi-user dungeon: one shared world, drawn in text, that everyone plays together in real time. There’s nothing to install but a small client, and it runs in any terminal.
Gather and make
Mine, chop, fish, then smith, fletch, cook and craft what you gathered. Ten skills to train, from melee to magic.
Fight
Melee, ranged and magic, with attack styles and armour that matter. Monsters go after whoever’s hurting them most. PvP only where the map says so.
Quests and characters
Talk to the people of Midland, take on their quests and follow them in your journal.
Play together
Form a party of up to four to share kills, loot and quest credit. Trade with other players, whisper, or just chat.
Shops, bank and mail
Buy and sell in town, keep your things in the bank, and send letters (with something enclosed) to friends, online or not.
