It is a post post post post apocalyptic world. Qud takes place in a far distant future where medieval society and hyper-advaned technology exist side by side. The game is inspired heavily by 'The Book of the New Sun' novel series by Gene Wolf, among other works. The progression system is mostly standard D&D style XP-based bit with some unique elements, and the combat is like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup in style. It's a deep story in a fascinating world. Instead you will find yourself investigating and exploring the world around you. I guess most classic roguelikes are like that, but Qud uses that black space to its fullest potential. In Caves of Qud, the white space is actually black, adding to the dreamlike feel of it all. It gives you just enough visual input to be able to navigate the world and act in it without trouble, but leaves a lot of the particulars to your imagination, your mind filling in the gaps (like a book). The game makes use of white space to great effect. The comparison to a novel isn't just in the feeling of it the graphics, while cohesive and appropriate, are very simple. It has a dreamy, psychedelic feel to it, almost like reading a good fantasy novel in a quiet cozy corner. It is a revolutionary title, one of the best RLs to come out in a while.
