Roguefort

About the Game

Roguefort is a massive open-world traditional roguelike where you can do anything you like and be anyone you want to be.

If you like Caves of Qud, Dwarf Fortress, or UnReal World, you'll like this game - especially if you wanted to experience them all at once in a fantasy world where cheese is like the Spice in Dune, vampires stalk the night, and you are thrown into a deep world of politics, lore, dungeon crawling, magic, and exploration.

Note: a demo is coming shortly to Steam, but you can play the pre-release version of the game right now for free on itch.io.

• NPCs sleep, wake, shelter from weather, and remember what you've done

Your Way to Play

• Go fishing and catch hundreds of different kinds of fish across cosy, exotic, and dangerous locations

... and much more. A demo is coming very soon.
