Kosmos Games released a new game called Esterium Project and the version is 0.005. The game’s story is about New game from Kosmos Games You can choose the protagonist’s gender, class, and backstory. There aren’t many options yet, but more is to come. Currently, the game features an inventory and trading system, crafting, a detailed quest log, dialogue, and location exploration. The leveling and combat systems are still in the prototype stage, but you can already kill a skeleton. There are also a few explicit scenes. Unlike traditional text-based RPGs, I want to move away from the concept of long, sprawling text. At the same time, I’ll try not to lose the depth of the story and characters.

Developer Notes
The Esterium Project Concept:
A text-based RPG set in a fantasy world with sandbox elements
Aiming for maximum player freedom — explore the world as your character’s strength allows
A world that will be filled with quests and activities
Combination of text-based storytelling and visual elements (character images and key scenes)
Lots of NSFW content
How This Project Differs from Bright Past:
Fantasy setting with magic and mysticism instead of modern realism
Create your own hero instead of playing a predefined character
Non-linear storytelling instead of a strict storyline
Focus on RPG elements and exploration freedom
Future Plans:
Expanding the starting area
Adding new NPCs and items
Deepening existing mechanics
Gradually creating an extensive world that players will want to return to
