About This 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.
