Looking for a text-based adventure that brings one of fantasy literature's most beloved worlds to life? The Lost Legends of Redwall: Escape the Gloomer is a Conversational Adventure™ game set in the caverns beneath Kotir Castle, based on Brian Jacques' bestselling novel Mossflower — part of the Redwall series, with over 35 million copies sold worldwide.^1
You play as Gillig, a young otter on a mission to prove himself by retrieving an ancient scroll from deep within the castle's catacombs — all while evading the terrifying water rat known as the Gloomer.^2 Across nine chapters, you type your own commands to explore, solve puzzles, and shape Gillig's journey from timid outcast to courageous warrior. The game features over 40,000 words of narrative, hand-painted illustrations, an original soundtrack, and 4.5 hours of professional voice acting from 20 actors.^3
Developed by Team Clopas — led by Scott Adams, a pioneer of the text adventure genre — in partnership with Soma Games, a Christian indie studio in Newberg, Oregon. Clopas was founded at the Christian Game Developer Conference, and the name means "Glory to the Father" (from John 10:25).^4 The game is an official collaboration with the Redwall Abbey Company and Penguin Random House UK.^1
