Minima

Minima is a short retro turn-based adventure RPG in a fantasy setting. An evil being called the Faxon has entrenched itself within Miskatonia and has sent a variety of monsters out to plague the land. It uses a keyboard for input and has built-in help indicating which keys perform each command. It is set in a land called Miskatonia presented via a 2D world view with enterable 2D towns and 3D dungeons. A detailed manual written from an in game universe perspective provides not just instructions on how to play but also some world background and even a few hints to get started. There are lots of NPCs to converse with and lots of creatures to fight before resolving Miskatonia's problems and saving the day.
