Tags: CryptRat; Note of the Outskirts
RPG Codex is a close-knit community of many bros. Some try their hand at making their own prestigious games, and they should be supported in this, so imagine my disgust when I learnt that Note of the Outskirts, an old-school dungeon crawler by community member CryptRat has not yet been posted about on the frontpage, even though it was released over a month ago.
So there you have it, folks:
The game certainly looks and sounds like a treat! I've been looking for an RPG to let me fell trees ever since I got to ride turtles in Grimoire. But most importantly, you can grab it for free at itch.io. Unless you're too scared of facing this guy and his penetrating glare.

Note of the outskirts
Close future. Rumors say megacorps are getting mad over a possible treasure. Bandits, mercenaries and opportunistic merchants are showing up, and of course you're too. Whatever it is, you're determined to find it and sell it to whoever will propose the best price. That's where the adventure begins.
Note of the outskirts is a classic party-based role playing game in the vein of titles such as the original Wasteland.
Features :
- One big handcrafted open dungeon: with a secret in (almost) every corner and multiple paths to the end
- Sandbox approach and interactive environment: solve riddles or use dynamite, swim or freeze water, melt ice, cut trees
- Party creation: bring up to 7 characters to life with 6 main attributes and dozens of skills and feats
- Classic round-based combat: weapons have different modes, and some can also be used out of combat
- Resource management: buy grenades, bandages and shield creation nanobots before travelling forth
- About 10 hours of gameplay
- No story: you'll have to make it yourself
- An automap: but don't use it
- Mod support.
