FERAL TALES: THE SHIFTING TOWERS

FERAL Tales: The Shifting Towers is a role-playing dungeon crawler set in a land called Aysic. The player takes the role of a cipher, a traveling adventurer seeking fortune. The player is tasked with destroying an archmage named Mersenne that is terrorizing a local town. In order to do so, the player must brave the Shifting Towers, a labyrinth of interconnected dungeons that are constantly twisting, turning, and transforming, a maelstrom that makes cartography impossible, and the setting that gives the game its name.

The Shifting Towers is a roguelike written in FreeBasic, following the Let's Build a Roguelike tutorial written by Richard D. Clark.
