The Ensign (video game)

The Ensign is a text-based iOS video game developed by Amirali Rajan and released on Aug 17, 2014. It is a prequel to A Dark Room.

Plot

The Ensign takes place on an unnamed planet. The player character is part of an alien species known as "the Wanderers", so named for their lust to conquer planet by planet. At the time of the game, the Wanderers are losing a war with humans despite possessing highly advanced technology. As The Ensign starts, the player character's ship has fallen, leaving both him and his admiral heavily injured. The wounded admiral stays behind while the protagonist seeks out the fallen ship. Eventually discovering and repairing it, the player character takes off in the ship, but it collides with an asteroid and crashes, leading into the events of A Dark Room.

Gameplay

The Ensign is a text based role-playing iOS game with permanent death characteristics. Navigating the game world is done in an interface resembling the original Rogue, in which all characters, terrain, and objects are represented by letters and symbols, as in the "Dusty Path" segment from A Dark Room. If the character dies, the game displays a "Time Paradox" message in place of "Game over". The game then restarts from the beginning.
