Perilous Wood

A very simple turn-based RPG game

You and your father have been captured by the local bandit group. They have kept your father as a hostage and have asked you to find the fabled Necklace of Randarn, lost many years back in the Perilous Wood, in order to secure his release. Find the necklace and free your father, or die.

(You're probably going to die, by the way.)

This is an attempt at a PHP turn-based RPG, somewhat in the style of Rogue/Nethack or Mystic Wood. I haven't revisited either of these games in designing this one, I've simply drawn on what I can recall of them.

If you end the game and save your score you'll be able to leave comments about the game for me to read (they won't be shown on the site). Or you can use the Twitter account: @PerilousWood.
