Minor tweaks and typo fixes.

User reviews

This is an outdated version of the game

The game was remade 15 years ago, it’s now called escape from the pit. This is an even older version of the game with bad graphics and systems.

The description should make this clear.

Would skip unless you’re a die hard retro gamers

Great turn based RPG

Easily one of the best written rpgs. Tons of quests, not a micro transaction to be found.

Excellent Alternative to D&D

These games are pretty good for the price. They are easy to learn and absolutely packed with content. If you like RPGs then you won’t be bored because there is a lot to do. The game does require a lot of reading but the writing is fairly decent so I’ve never minded how much reading I was doing. The humor is what really stood out to me. There’s a lot of clever stuff and subtle references that might go over the heads of younger players- 10 or younger. Overall I enjoyed this game and it convinced me to play all of their games. I hope they make some more.

An Absolute Classic

I played the original version of this game 20 years ago and its remake 10 years ago and never sat down long enough to complete it until recently — and boy I’m glad I did. This game stays interesting from beginning to finish, with an enormous world to explore and an amount of content unrivaled in other iOS RPGs

Just what I was looking for!

I wanted to find a mobile RPG that was a real RPG, and not some scammy app full of pay walls. Not only does this meet that criteria, but the story line is awesome, the puzzles are compelling (except the lasers in 3; those were a pain in the A), and I could play the whole thing offline. I absolutely love this game. There’s not another mobile app like it. Great development work, thank you! I have played the whole thing, the first one twice, and I could play again. It’s a little different when you make different choices, too.
