More about this game
Shadows of the Iron Realm is a text adventure where you explore a ruined world with your companion Tomas. You start with 24 health and 4 gold, facing choices that lead to combat, puzzles, or new areas. In combat, you can attack, defend, use a potion, or attempt to flee. The game ends if your health drops to 0 or if you successfully navigate the encounters to reach one of the multiple endings.
Tips

- Using a Red Vial restores 9 health, so save it for when you really need it.
- Pay attention to the clues Tomas finds; they can help you solve puzzles and avoid taking damage.
