Turn-based survival RPG for mobile
Every trip out costs you something.
Rationfall is a text-driven survival RPG with the pace of a tabletop game. Cross a frozen hex map, search ruins for supplies, and decide how much farther you can go before you have to turn back.
Explore the game01How to Play
Plan the trip. Make it back.
Every expedition starts at the shelter. What you bring back shapes what you can do next.
Pack for the way back
Check your food, water, bandages and gear. Plan a route around the action points you have, and leave enough to get home.
Search one square at a time
Cross the hex map and enter a location to search it square by square. Danger rises as you go. One more room might have what you need, or bring a fight you came unprepared for.
Put your haul to work
Rest at the shelter, replenish your supplies, and put what you salvaged into gear and facilities for the next trip.
02Inside the Game
From a single hex to a shelter of your own
A trip for food can take you past a rival shelter or into a building you thought was empty. Back home, the supplies you bring in decide which jobs you can keep running.
01 / Navigation
Plot your route
Read the map like a game board. Pick a destination, decide where to spend your actions, and change course when the risk outweighs what you came for.
02 / Exploration
Deal with who you find
A hostile encounter can leave room to bargain. Handing over supplies might buy your way out. Running costs stamina, and a failed escape can leave you at a disadvantage when the fight starts.
03 / Shelter
Keep the shelter running
Recruit survivors, assign them to work or defend the shelter, and build what you need next. A workshop turns salvage into gear. A generator keeps powered facilities working as long as you can fuel it.
04 / Raids
Send a team into a rival shelter
Choose who goes and what they carry. A locked door can turn a lockpick into your most valuable tool. A bad call can cost you a survivor.
03A Note in the Shelter
Someone wanted you to wake up.
Fifteen years after the collapse, you wake up wounded in a shelter. The people who patched you up have moved on. They left a few supplies, a note, and somewhere to start looking.
The note is your first clue. The rest are scattered across places you’ll have to decide whether to search.
Change your bandages. There are clean ones in the stockpile. We left some food, too. It won’t last long.
It’s a long way out there. I hope you wake up soon. When you can walk, look for the bridge.
