A young mapmaker discovers that the tremors plaguing her coastal village are not earthquakes but the rhythmic steps of a colossal, forgotten city rising from the ocean floor, bringing with it both ancient, benevolent magic and vengeful sea monsters.

How it plays
In Whispers of the Sunken Citadel, you create a character with a point-buy stat spread, then trade blows with the AI dungeon master through stat-modified dice rolls; question witnesses, piece together clues, and call for Wisdom or Intelligence checks at decisive moments; manage rising dread, hunger, and injury while the narrative tightens around you. The AI dungeon master (GPT-4o, with Gemini 2.5 Flash as a fast fallback) narrates each scene, reacts to your typed or spoken actions, and calls for dice rolls when the outcome is uncertain.
Your inventory, gold, health, and 15 equipment slots update automatically from the narrative — pick up a sword in chapter one and the AI remembers you have it in chapter four. Food, rest, potions, and healing magic each affect survival in distinct ways, and difficulty adapts to how aggressively you play. In hardcore mode death is permanent; in standard mode you can rejoin the story through the Resurrection system.
