help Roadwarden FAQ

What is the roadwarden's job in Roadwarden?

The protagonist is hired by a merchant guild to explore and reconnect a dangerous peninsula before the end of the season. The work involves mapping routes, carrying messages, investigating threats, and deciding which settlements or factions to support.

Is Roadwarden entirely text based?

Most interactions are presented through written descriptions and dialogue, but the game also uses pixel-art locations, a travel map, inventory systems, and character statistics. Its structure combines interactive fiction with RPG exploration rather than functioning as a plain digital novel.

What happens when Roadwarden's time limit expires?

The standard campaign gives the player a limited number of days before they must report back to the merchant guild. Travel and many activities consume time, so it is difficult to resolve every settlement's problems during a single playthrough.

Which character classes can you choose in Roadwarden?

The protagonist can begin as a fighter, mage, or scholar, with each background providing different strengths and dialogue opportunities. The choice affects how problems are approached but does not lock the story into a single fixed route.
