MudGate

MudGate is about exploration, unveiling its zones piece by piece as you navigate, and reclaiming seized ground to mend a torn world.

This medieval fantasy RPG lets you traverse various biomes, gear up, and face foes to reclaim captured lands. Inspired by text-based MUDs, MudGate emphasizes relaxed exploration and simplified combat visuals, supporting both single-player and multiplayer modes.

Main story

In MudGate, discover Icemire, the central realm where ancient doorways, once thriving with portals to other realms, now lie in ruins. These gateways stand as silent witnesses to a conflict that tore the realms apart long ago, leaving the world fractured and shrouded in mystery.

As a traveler in this broken world, you are called to recover crucial compass shards, reclaim territories overtaken by corruption, and mend the ancient gates.

Along the way, you will uncover hidden truths about the ancient conflict, seek lost magic to restore the gateways, and unravel the forgotten lore of the realms. Every step of your journey contributes to rejuvenating a ravaged world and restoring hope to Icemire and beyond.

Adventure beckons in multiple realms. Engage in random events and hidden quests linking the world's past to your character's evolving story. In safe havens and trading houses, find rare items and knowledge crucial to rebuilding what has been lost.

Safe havens

As you explore the realms, you may find sanctuaries and trading houses. Within these safe havens, you might stumble upon hidden quests or discover rare items that could aid you in your journey.
