The mists of Barovia draw close. The castle gates swing open, but the lord is not home.
The cold fog clings to your boots. The iron gates of Castle Ravenloft creak open, revealing a dark courtyard. The gargoyles above seem to watch your every step. A single lantern burns in the entryway, but there are no servants, and the banquet hall is set for guests that never arrived.
Barovia is a valley trapped in a pocket dimension, ruled by the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich. The land is filled with mist, wolves, and terrified villagers. The castle stands on a high cliff, overlooking the valley.
The castle gates will lock at midnight, trapping you inside with the castle's denizens.
A story made personal
Your hero will have their own personal connection to this story — it's chosen at random when you create your character.
"Castle above the Mist" is a ready-to-play session for an AI-powered roleplaying game. The AI takes on the role of Game Master: narrating the story, describing the world, playing every NPC, and reacting to your actions. It's a text-based RPG you can start playing right away — no prep, no need to find a Game Master. Solo — just you and the AI. With a friend — two players in the same story by invite.
