Greywick
The hamlet is empty. The doors hang open on the moor. Something is still here — and it has been waiting for someone exactly like you.
Greywick is a free text-adventure RPG you play in your browser. You read your way into a haunted world and type your way through it — alone, or shoulder to shoulder with friends.
The Bounders' Lodge
Rain needles the shutters. The fire has burned down to an argument of embers, and the landlord watches you across it with the patience of a man who has buried guests before.
ask him about the moor
“The moor keeps what it takes,” he says, “and lately it's been greedy. You'll want steel, a light, and a better reason than coin.”
go north, into the dark
The door gives onto wind and the smell of turned earth. Somewhere ahead, a bell that should not be ringing, rings.
No maps of menus. No grinding. Just a world written for you, that writes back — and remembers every door you open.
A game you fall into, not one you grind through
Become someone
Twelve classes — each branching into one of two subclass paths — and nine lineages. A Drow warlock, a Mountain Dwarf shieldbearer, a Halfling rogue with light fingers and lighter morals. Roll one up in minutes — it's yours to keep.
A world that answers
Type or tap; the world writes back in prose, not menus. Talk your way past a guard, or don't. Cast, feint, or run. The dice decide the rest.
Never alone — unless you want to be
Wander solo, or cross paths with real players on the road. Form a party, share a fire, and take the same turn-based battle together, blow for blow.
It remembers you
Shops, quests, a fog-of-war map, up to five saved heroes. Greywick keeps what you do — and what you leave behind in the dark.
Where will you wander?
Type or click
Every button is just a command in disguise. Type “go north,” or tap it — new players are never stuck, veterans never slowed.
Roll the dice
Battles are tactical and turn-based: attack, study, defend, spend a spell, or flee. 5e-lite rules you can actually feel.
Live with it
Choices stick. Doors you open stay open; things you leave behind stay lost. The world moves on with — or without — you.
Questions travellers ask
What is Greywick?
A free online text-adventure RPG you play in your browser. You read authored prose and type (or click) commands to explore a dark fantasy world, talk to its people, take quests, and fight dice-driven, turn-based battles.
Is it really free?
Yes — free to play, nothing to install, up to five saved heroes per account. Just make an account with a username and password and step in.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. Greywick runs entirely in your web browser on any device — desktop, laptop, or phone. There is no app to install and no plugin required.
Can I play with friends?
Absolutely. Everyone shares one world: meet other players as you explore, add friends, form a party, chat, and fight the same battles together — each on your own turn.
What can I play as?
Pick from twelve classes — Fighter, Wizard, Rogue, Ranger, Paladin, Barbarian, Cleric, Bard, Druid, Monk, Sorcerer, and Warlock — each branching into one of two subclass paths at level 3, and nine lineages across Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, and Human, each with its own traits, homeland, and starting story.
Do I need to know the commands?
No. If you can read, you can play. Everything you can type is also a button on screen, so you can point-and-click your way through and pick up the shorthand as you go. New here? Read the how-to-play guide.
The moor keeps what it takes. Come and take something back.
