What it is

Every realm is procedurally generated from a seed: towns, people, roads and history. Same seed, same realm.

The engine has no quest script; every story on the site came out of the simulation.

Solo is the default. A table of friends joining a hosted realm from a browser is being built; it is not shipping.

What to call it

Kinbarrow is a fantasy RPG whose world is simulated rather than authored. Towns keep running when the player is not there, and they keep a record of what the player did.
