Kaernath-RPG in a dark medieval world

Example

Players must manage their character's basic needs like hunger, thirst, and fatigue. For instance, if a player neglects to eat, their character's health will gradually deteriorate, impacting their ability to fight or travel.

Scenario

A player embarks on a journey through a dense forest without enough provisions. As they progress, their character becomes increasingly hungry and tired, leading to slower movement and reduced effectiveness in combat. The player must decide whether to turn back, risk hunting for food, or push forward, knowing the risks.

Example

Players can only use items that are in their inventory and must carefully manage their resources. For example, if a player needs to unlock a door but lacks the key or tools to pick the lock, they must find another way around.

Scenario

While exploring an abandoned castle, a player encounters a locked chest. Without a key or lockpicking tools, they are forced to leave it behind, missing out on potential treasures inside. This scenario highlights the importance of preparation and resource management.

Example

Every decision is contextually based on the player's current situation and available knowledge. For example, if a player chooses to rob a merchant in a town, they risk being caught and imprisoned, which could drastically change their game experience.

Scenario

A player decides to steal food from a market to avoid starvation. However, the theft is witnessed by a guard, leading to a chase through the streets. If caught, the player faces imprisonment, losing valuable time and resources. This scenario illustrates how decisions in Kaernath can have far-reaching consequences.
