ADOM: Ancient Domains of Mystery
ADOM is an epic fantasy roguelike designed and developed by Thomas Biskup and first released in 1994. The story takes you to the Drakalor Chain, a mountainous area in the fictional land of Ancardia. You play as an adventurer who sets out to defend the world from the Coming of Chaos, as told by an ancient prophecy.
ADOM offers many areas to explore, as well as multiple story-driven quests and endings. While the early versions were limited to ASCII graphics, later versions added tile-based graphics, music, sound, and an overworld map.

About This Game
The world of Ancardia is being consumed by an expanding corruption, and the clock is running out. Players choose from a variety of character classes and descend into a vast, procedurally generated world of dungeon levels, monster encounters, disease, starvation, and traps. The mission is clear: find the source of the corruption and stop it—or, for the morally flexible, try to harness its power instead. Whether you ascend as a savior, rise as a god, or turn away entirely, Ancardia's fate lies in your hands.
