## What is Close Encounters RPG?

Close Encounters RPG is a location-based fantasy role-playing game that turns the world around you into an adventure.

Equip weapons and armor, collect gold, learn magic, improve your attributes, and develop a unique adventurer over time.

Features include:

• Location-based exploration and nearby encounters
• Multiple character kindreds and classes
• Combat against players and fantasy creatures
• Weapons, armor, spells, loot, and progression
• Dynamic weather and time-of-day atmosphere
