Rotten Kingdom is a small experimental text-adventure game built around decay, collapse, and quiet exploration. Originally conceived as a simple lore book add-on, the project quickly grew into a fully playable experience.
The game drops the player into the ruins of a fallen kingdom where the world continues to exist long after its meaning has been lost. There are no heroic quests, no clear objectives, and very little guidance. Instead, the player moves through abandoned spaces, fragments of forgotten history, and systems that barely hold together.
The project began as an experiment in building atmosphere through minimal mechanics and visual language. The focus was on texture, mood, and ambiguity rather than traditional progression or narrative clarity.
From a design perspective, Rotten Kingdom was also an opportunity to explore a hybrid workflow combining illustration, pixel art, procedural systems, and simple gameplay mechanics. Much of the visual identity was intentionally rough and degraded, reinforcing the idea of a world slowly falling apart.
