A 30-45 minute turn-based RPG built overnight as an engine showcase:
six recruitable characters (party of three), four recurring NPCs,
choice-driven dialogue with visible-but-locked skill checks, shops,
loot, levels, two bosses with in-battle Talk options, the reverted
grey-town beat, and an epilogue assembled from the player's actual
choices. 33 dialogue scenes / 171 nodes. Terrain is ColorLayers only;
kenney_tinydungeon supplies characters, items, and props.
Creative direction, story, dialogue, maps, and systems design by
Fable; implementation by four Opus subagents (framework, battle,
overworld, integration). Verified by tests/playthrough.py: a scripted
headless run of all three acts, 20/20 beats passing, plus per-system
unit tests (script integrity, UI kit, 225-battle balance sim,
overworld).
Run: cd build && ./mcrogueface --exec ../games/unwritten/main.py
