Beyond the torchlight
Step into procedurally generated dungeons. Fog of war conceals unexplored ground; the minimap remembers where you have been.
TERMINAL MMORPG
IN DEVELOPMENT
A world written
in characters.
Dark corridors. Unwritten stories. A shared world taking shape in UTF / ASCII, right inside your terminal.

THE GAME
Your terminal.
An entire world.
Chains of Fate is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game in development, designed to live in a terminal.
Its world is drawn with UTF-8 characters, ASCII symbols and colour. Walls, doors, light and shadow become a readable landscape, one character cell at a time.
The current dungeon prototype establishes the foundations: procedural spaces, keyboard-driven exploration and a world revealed through light and line of sight.
Characters with depth
Coloured UTF glyphs give stone and corridors their texture. Dynamic lighting and flickering torches shape what you can see.
A place for every detail
The dungeon stays at the centre. A side panel, discovered-area minimap and paged status display keep essential information close.
