Effulgence is an incredibly cool looking ASCII-styled 2D RPG adventure where players explore a mysterious alien world rendered entirely through text symbols.
In Effulgence you have received a mysterious signal from a galaxy a million light years away. The signal is so old that the planet it originated on may no longer exist, but you’ve managed to decode it into an animation made of ASCII text symbols. As you explore the signal you’ll learn more about its origins and the intentions of the signal.
Players must defeat creatures in turn-based combat to harvest their particles, which serve as crafting resources in a special printing system. With over a hundred blueprints available, these particles can be used to create weapons, gear, and various mechanisms essential for survival and exploration.
The game features dozens of locations to discover, each brought to life through creative use of text characters. An advanced character upgrade system allows players to evolve their abilities as they delve deeper into this mysterious digital world.
It’s a fantastic looking game with a very unique art style and a very intriguing lore. Sign up for the Beta to go on a very different text adventure.
