Realm of Loner
A single-player "MMO" for Android and the browser, set in Caldreth, a world of its own in the style of the classic online RPGs. Every other player on the realm is simulated: they level, chat, form groups, run dungeons, win and lose loot rolls, and join your party in the open world. You get the feel of a busy server in a game you can put down at any time.
It is a numbers-and-visuals game, not a text adventure: hand-drawn scenes and sprites, real combat maths, gear, quests and dungeons.
Play it in your browser: https://faizal97.github.io/realm-of-loner/ (desktop or phone; saves stay in your browser). Or install the Android app from Releases.

About the name and the history. Versions up to 9.9 were a free, non-commercial fan project set in another company's game world. Since v10 the world (Caldreth), its story (The Black Ledger), names and art are original, and the game is Realm of Loner. All art (hand-written SVG), music (composed synth) and code in this repository are our own. The game is free and will stay free.
What's in it
Recent updates: the professions update (v10.9: every craft to 300, Fishing and Cooking, Rumhook Bay and the Bloodsand Brawl), the level-60 update (v10.10: item effects on drops, rare hunts with trophies, a ladder of Honor ranks) and The Layout Update (v10.10.1: a roomier phone screen). Full notes for each version are on the Releases page.
- Both factions, all 8 classic races. Human, Dwarf, Gnome, Wood Elf, Orc, Troll, Hornfolk, Undead, each with its own starting zone, and racial traits (one active, two passive).
- Talents from level 10: three trees per class.
- Mounts at 40: learn riding and buy your race's mount; every road is 40% faster.
- Professions up to 300. Mining, Herbalism, Skinning, Fishing, Blacksmithing, Alchemy, Leatherworking, Tailoring and Cooking: gather in the wild, craft gear, potions, flasks and bags, and trade on the auction house.
- Cities. A bank and auction house in every capital, Kingsmere included; daily bounty boards, Help Wanted, Mentor Marks, heirlooms and titles.
- 9 classes, any race can be any class. Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Warlock, Druid. Pets for Hunters and Warlocks, Bear Form for Druids, seals for Paladins, totems for Shamans.
- Levels 1–60. Starting zones, then Longfield and the Scrublands, Stoneharrow and Highcrag, then Wraithwood, the Greenfen and Greymead, and contested Elderglen, The Vinewild, the Kinloch Highlands, Ferndeep, the Cinderfields, the West Rotmoor, Sirocco, Greenmaw Crater and Icewold (neutral Coppergulch, Marshal's Refuge and Coldcoin), with about 700 quests, named rares and unique drops.
- Dungeons and elites with a group of simulated players. The Smoke Pit, The Smugglers' Deep, The Dreaming Caves, Kingsmere Gaol, Greyhowl Keep, The Tidehollow Deeps, Gearhollow, The Thorn Warrens, the Pyre Abbey (Library and Cathedral), The Dune Temple, The Gemfall Caves, Cinderpeak Depths, The Blackcloister, Graymouth, and open-world elites such as Old Snaggle, Lardhide, Big Chopper, Patchwork, Big Bruin, Skyrend, the Scalehide Matriarch, King Ghostpelt, Captain Rusk Hookhand, Lord Nazzir, King Stomp, Scorch, Vashti the Summoner and Whiteclaw, with roles, threat, wipes and need/greed rolls. Groups are synced to the dungeon's level; you choose the pull pace, mark the kill order and pick a boss plan.
- World PvP (War Mode). Enemy players show up nearby; some pass by, some attack, and you can strike first. Guards help in towns. Elderglen is contested: both factions quest there, each from its own town, and enemy players are more common. +10% XP and gold, and Honor.
- A living server. Players online by time of day and a welcome-back digest of what happened while you were away.
- Chat that does things. Tap an LFG post to join that group. Whispers ask for real things: help with a kill, teaming up on your quest, a carry, a craft order, a duel, a trade, a question you can answer. Rares get called out in General. Bots you help remember you. Tap any [item] to see it, and use quick replies.
Where the game stands, how it is designed and what comes next: the roadmap.
Install (Android)
Download the latest APK from Releases or itch.io and open it on your phone (you may need to allow installs from your browser or file manager). arm64 phones only.
After that the app updates itself: when a new version is out it shows what changed, and Update now downloads it and opens Android's installer. The first time, Android asks you to allow Realm of Loner to install apps. Hero → Check for updates checks by hand.
