About

Avernum: Escape From the Pit is an indie fantasy role-playing strategy game developed and published by Spiderweb Software. Released on April 11, 2012, this turn-based adventure takes place in a massive nation of tunnels and caverns located deep underground. The setting features eighty towns and dungeons that players can explore while seeking out hundreds of magical artifacts. The narrative follows a character banished to the underworld who never sees the light of day again due to the cruel rule of Emperor Hawthorne on the surface. In this dark, volcanic environment, residents face threats from starvation, horrible monsters, or simple despair unless they forge a new nation with magic and steel. Players can choose to join these survivors to fight for safety, freedom, or revenge against the surface-dwellers who cast them down. The game offers three separate game-winning quests where players can seek safety, escape, or take revenge on their oppressors. Completing just one of these objectives is possible, but the experience allows for pursuing all three paths within a single playthrough. The rich game system includes over 50 spells and battle disciplines alongside a multitude of beneficial character traits to choose from. Main story content spans approximately 44 hours, while including extras extends the main experience to about 60 hours total. For those aiming to complete every aspect of the world, the completionist length reaches roughly 86 hours. Unique races and settings distinguish this title as a different adventure compared to others in the genre.
