Caves of Qud

A Role-playing (RPG) game by Freehold Games, released in 2024

94/100๐Ÿ”ดNiche / Inactive๐Ÿ†Proton PlatinumLinuxPC (Microsoft Windows)Mac

Caves of Qud is a science fantasy roguelike epic steeped in retro-futurism, deep simulation, and swathes of sentient plants. The game weaves a handwritten narrative through rich physical, social, and historical simulations. The result is a hybrid handcrafted & procedurally-generated world where you can do just about anything. Assemble your character from over 70 mutations and defects, and 24 castes and kits - itโ€™s all the character diversity you could want. Explore procedurally-generated regions with some familiar locations - each world is nearly 1 million maps large.
