How to Play

⚗ Beta — Thanks for testing!

Questbound is in early access. Expect rough edges — your feedback shapes what comes next.

Three Modes — pick one per character
📖
Story
Open-ended Dungeon Master. Fresh region every run. No fixed ending.
🗺
Levels
Hand-crafted narrated campaigns with quests, NPCs, and a story to finish.
⚔
Arena
Endless combat waves. Beat each round to face a harder one. Chase the high score.

⚠ Each character is locked to their chosen mode — choose carefully.

How it works
🤖
The Narrator
Each turn the Narrator describes the world and gives you four choices. You can also type your own free-form action. Play it good, evil, clever, or chaotic — the world reacts to your choices.
⚔
Turn-Based Combat
When a fight is triggered, the game switches to the battle screen. Pick spells or attacks each round, watch your mana, and manage cooldowns. Companions can fight beside you.
📖
Spell Book (Human only)
Human heroes carry a spell book. Before a fight, equip up to 6 spells into your combat bar by dragging or clicking. Spells have mana costs and cooldowns — build your loadout before each arena run or level.
📊
Level Up & Stats
Earn XP from combat. Level up to gain stat points — spend them on Strength, Intelligence, Armor, Speed, and Magic Resist from the Character screen (📊 icon in the header).
⚡
Energy
Narrator turns cost ⚡ Energy (shown in the header). Your daily allowance refills at midnight UTC. Arena combat uses no energy — only story and level turns do.
🎒
Inventory
Items are collected during your adventure. Open the bag icon (🎒) to use consumables like health potions. Items found in story mode carry into combat.
💾
Saving is Automatic
Your progress is saved to the cloud after every turn. Just close the tab and come back — your character, inventory, XP, and story will be exactly where you left them.
