About Dragonwake

Dragonwake is a roguelike drawn entirely in ASCII characters. You guide a hero through a fantasy setting, fighting monsters, gathering gear and making risky choices where one mistake can end the run.

It is also an experiment in whether AI-assisted coding, in this case Codex, can produce a deep, replayable roguelike, and it placed 106th of 945 at Vibe Jam 2026. It is single-player, and the text-based look follows classic dungeon crawlers, a style the creator loves.

It leans toward the hardcore end of the tradition, with an adventure and RPG focus. Each attempt starts fresh, so progress depends on how well you build and play the character, and the creator is aiming for long, complex replayability with a large amount of content to work through.
