The Red Prison plunges players into a roguelike experience deeply rooted in the Open Game License (OGL) content of the 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons SRD. This title adopts a similar stripped-back approach to the game's Basic Rules, faithfully implementing many of them within its own framework.
Players can expect a traditional roguelike experience, featuring character creation with four distinct classes—fighter, rogue, wizard, and cleric—and a selection of four base races, each with unique subraces. From humans and dwarves to elves and halflings, the variety allows for extensive character customization.
