What it is about

T emples are places of worship, parts of the earth where the veil between god and man is worn away by careful devotion. Though religions may rise and fall, and the name of many deities are struck from their sacred texts, the temples themselves remain beacons of the divine, abandoned outposts that come to house all manner of spirits, ghosts, and new gods. You are one such visitor, of mortal ilk— a solitary hermit searching for a home. But be observant, and take heed: just because you’ve moved in, it doesn’t mean anything else has moved out. Hermit Crab is a solo journal RPG based on the concept of medieval hermits from Arthurian legend, and all the manner of faiths and gods that come with the job. You play as a recluse of any type, sequestered away in a dilapidated temple-- one inhabited by those same spirits of yore. This game, as with the others I've posted here on itch.io, are created completely by me (Epach)! Unfortunately I'm limited by the constraints of my current skill and time, but I'm looking to update the graphics for this module in the somewhat near future. Thanks so much for taking an interest in the project!
