Portalborn is a fully text-based single-player RPG inspired by the classic command-driven MUDs of the 1990s.
There are no animated battles or sprawling 3D worlds. Instead, you'll explore through room descriptions, typed commands, and a modern clickable interface that captures the depth of classic text adventures while making them approachable for modern players.
If you enjoy discovering hidden secrets, hunting for powerful loot, crafting stronger equipment, and gradually building a character through dangerous expeditions, Portalborn was built for you.
Step through unstable magical portals into compact worlds filled with monsters, treasures, mysteries, and hidden paths.
Every Pocket Realm is designed as its own adventure. Some are dangerous forests. Others are forgotten crypts, ruined temples, mysterious laboratories, or entirely unique realms created through the Portal Workshop.
Search carefully.
Fight wisely.
Return stronger than before.
Create your hero and develop them through multiple classes, attributes, equipment, and crafting.
Strength, Agility, Intellect, and Constitution all shape how your character grows, while different classes and equipment allow for a wide variety of playstyles.
The class system will continue evolving throughout Early Access as combat, progression, and balance are refined through ongoing development and community feedback.
Defeat monsters to collect equipment, crafting materials, and rare components.
Improve your gear through Alchemy.
Enhance equipment with powerful Portal Extracts.
Discover increasingly valuable treasures as you venture deeper into dangerous realms.
Every expedition offers another opportunity to become stronger.
Portalborn includes the Portal Workshop, allowing players to create and share their own content.
Build new areas.
Design quests.
Create monsters.
Invent classes.

Expand the world alongside the community.
The Portal Workshop will continue growing throughout Early Access with additional creator tools and improvements.
Portalborn embraces command-driven gameplay while removing many of the barriers that traditionally kept players away from classic text RPGs.
Choose the style that suits you best:
Type commands manually.
Click highlighted room objects.
Navigate using clickable exits.
Customize quick-action buttons.
Explore with an ASCII minimap.
Manage your character through integrated equipment, crafting, inventory, and status panels.
Whether you prefer typing or clicking, both approaches work seamlessly together.
