โš”๏ธ VIBE QUEST โš”๏ธ

A Retro RPG Adventure

Long ago, the Kingdom of Vibe flourished under the benevolent rule of King Aldric and his daughter, Princess Elara. The land was peaceful, the harvests plentiful, and magic flowed freely through the realm.

Then came the Dragon.

Now the land lies shrouded in fog. Monsters roam freely. Villages cower in fear. You are a wandering wizard, the last hope of a dying kingdom. Find the Princess. Claim the legendary Blade of Dawn. Defeat the Dragon. Save the World of Vibe.
