CRAWL BORG: The Soil Psalm

"At Graven-Tosk the soil shall grow warm and those who rest be made to walk."

The Calendar of Nechrubel, Psalm III, Verse I — The Nameless Scriptures

---

The end of the world has come at last as a cold, dark sunrise threatens to consume all that still languishes beneath it. However, there are whispers that the Shadow King's Court, high above fetid Sarkash, stands as a bastion against this sudden entropy. Adventurers desperatly brave the ruined necropoli of Graven-Tosk, in search of passage to the vile king's court. Join them, or wither away with the rest of the doomed world.

CRÄWL BORG: The Soil Psalm is a first-person dungeon crawler for the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive, set in the black-metal fantasy world of Stockholm Kartell's TTRPG  Mörk Borg.  

In CRÄWL BORG, you explore a sprawling dungeon full of traps, secrets, creatures, and fellow adventurers. You do so using a cast of colorful adventurers with different stats, abilities, and starting equipment. Will you carefully map out the dungeon with the Foul Swarmkeeper? Barrel headlong through its trials with the Flayed Knight? Or sneak your way into the Shadow Court with the Stinking Knave? 

I expect you to die—many times—and to learn more about the dungeon with each last breath. Different characters will reveal different things about the world, so don't be precious with their lives and write down (with pen and paper!) whatever knowledge you can buy with their blood.

CRÄWL BORG is currently in its earliest stages of development, so expect many changes and updates over the next few months! 

The game will be available as a .md rom file for use in the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive emulator of your choice AND as a stantalone executable, bundled in with an open source emulator (proabably DGen). I also plan to produce physical cartridges, which will be published and sold by Old World Workshop.

Watch this space for preview builds!
