Hey Adventurers! This is not strictly Operencia, or the world of classic RPGs, but we thought you might enjoy some more turn-based combat in a different setting!

Get into the spirit as one of four unlikely survivors:

Miraje, a lounge singer who’s not going down with this ship
Hatano, a katana-wielding badass with a troubled past
Vi, a young gamer who will need to grow up fast
Fargo, a personal investigator who’s too old for this ****

A tactical turn-based RPG with roguelike elements, Dread Nautical combines immersive gameplay with a colorful, but deeply eldritch tone. Supernatural forces have overwhelmed a cruise liner called Hope whisking away the entire clientele and crew to a different dimension.



Manage your scarce resources effectively, and convince scattered survivors to fight alongside you. You’ll need them for any hope of escaping this “vacation” alive.



Traverse all 20 decks of the to unlock the mysteries of the Hope. Think several steps ahead during each battle, plotting the optimal use of each character’s action points. Your weapons, bandages, and other items deteriorate, and your resources are very limited. Make sure your companions rest, or panic may overtake them.

Hi Adventurers!

As RPG players ourselves, we have played many classic games - a lot of which Operencia takes its inspiration from. So we entrusted Pat Holleman to educate us, and hopefully other RPG fans about where it all began. We’ll be sharing these videos here as well, starting today - please enjoy!

The historical evolution of RPGs is a fascinating look at how tabletop RPGs made way for console and computer role-playing games.

Early computers didn’t have the processing power to capture the sprawling, open worlds that we explored in our tabletop Dungeons & Dragons adventures, so designers had to be very deliberate about what parts of the experience captured their focus. In practice, the limitations of PC hardware quickly turned into catalysts for innovation.

The Bard’s Tale which originally came out in 1985, tried to adapt the tabletop RPG, Dungeons and Dragons into the computer platform. In this video, you can see how the developers tried to create an amazing game 35 years ago, with new features like unique monsters and spells.
Patrick Holleman dives into how technological limitations drove the evolution of their design.

We hope that you will enjoy this little video as much as we did!

You don’t have to wait more as the VR update has arrived to the game! Now you can enjoy the charming universe of Operencia in (almost) full reality! We also showed you the terrifying Zöldek warriors last week, now the folktale continues as another frightening enemy appeared on the horizon!



The Busó warriors were devoted soldiers of King Attila, and this fact hasn’t changed with the death of the lord, as these silly fighters still can be found near the tomb of Attila after decades of his passing. Their crazy masks are enough to frighten away most of their enemies, however, if you would choose to battle with them, get ready for a fight till death as they don’t know the phrase “give up”. Here you can find, what makes these fanatics such a good fighter:
