Realm of Decay
A dark-fantasy semi-idle RPG: v1.1 alive on GitHub Pages, galaxy.click, and the original build.
by Psychemaster · 2014 · Web (GitHub Pages / galaxy.click)
Realm of Decay is Psychemaster's dark-fantasy semi-idle RPG, alive in three builds at once: the newer v1.1 realm-ng, the original RealmOfDecay, and galaxy.click, all verified 200 in this pass. The GitHub repo itself is private despite Pages serving the game, which the entry records as a quirk rather than a blocker.
What the loop feels like
You fight a shade, the shade drops essence, and the essence darkens the next shade. That's Realm of Decay.
Playing it today
Free at all three live builds, with three small assets above (the Almost Idle thumb is the best available cover; the game is text/CSS with only HP-bar GIFs, and the galaxy thumbs are banner strips). No screenshots exist publicly, recorded honestly.
The verdict
A dark text-RPG idle in the A Dark Room lineage: modest, three-builds-alive, and maintained a decade on.

A text-forward wizard RPG where 120+ spells, eight elements and a team of auto-casting Wizards conspire to hand you the Philosopher's Stone. Very Positive.
