Gameplay
Sanctuary RPG is a role-playing game that uses ASCII art to render its world. In the game, players control an adventurer searching for an entity called The Matron. The game takes place in a location known as "Westhaven". Players must defeat enemies on their travels, ranging from mythical creatures, such as slimes and skeletons, to robots. The game utilizes permadeath in its default mode.
Players select destinations via the context menu to explore the game world and engage in battle with various enemies via a combo-based combat system. Winning battles grants the player gold, experience points and items. In addition to combat, players explore the fictional world and chat with various NPC (non-player characters) throughout the game. The game has a crafting system that allows players to create weapons, tools and armor.[1]
