Nick's Text Adventure

Nick’s Text Adventure is a cruel text-based RPG where everything unfolds one line at a time. Spells lie, gear gets worse, fishing can hurt you, and enemies mock your choices. Nothing is fair, nothing is explained, and the game remembers.

From the Steam store

Nick’s Text Adventure is a dark, minimalist text game where the story unfolds one line at a time. You descend through a strange, shifting tower made of one hundred floors—and a few that aren’t meant to exist. Each floor has its own rules, its own dangers, and its own fragments of a story that never fully explains itself.

Combat is simple but unforgiving. Equipment can help you… or betray you. Some items grow weaker the more you rely on them. Enemies notice your mistakes. Even progress isn’t always permanent.

Between battles, you’ll uncover quiet moments: strange rooms, unreliable rewards, and pieces of narrative that only make sense once you’ve seen enough—or when it’s already too late. Choices matter in subtle ways, shaping what appears, what changes, and what endings become possible.

This is not a power fantasy. It’s a game about persistence, uncertainty, and curiosity—about continuing downward when the rules start to bend and the game stops pretending it’s fair.

Not everything is meant to be found on your first run. Not every ending wants you to win.
