About
Explore what remains of the ancient city of San Francisco and experience dynamic combat in this RPG text game.
What if goblins, ogres, and dragons weren't imagined? What if our ancestors were, unwittingly, foretelling the future? Find yourself in that future, centuries from now, among the ruins of what was once the 21st century – where these terrifying creatures roam freely…
Heavily inspired by modern tabletop RPGs like Dungeon World, this game puts you in the shoes of a young necromancer on a quest. Battle monsters, raise the dead, and explore what remains of the ancient city of San Francisco.

- 3rd-strike.com8.2Knights of San Francisco offers up a fun fantasy adventure in the form of a sleek and minimalistic text adventure. The game is best enjoyed in short bursts, which is emphasized by its pick-up-and-play nature. Apart from the unsuitable soundtrack choices, it’s hard to find fault with the title, especially given its accessible nature and engaging writing. If you enjoy text-based adventure games, this one is a no-brainer, and if you’ve never tried a game like this before, this is a perfect entry point.
- 148Apps7.0It may not be Skyrim, but I like Knights of San Francisco for what it is. It's surprisingly stylish and sleek for a text-based game, and it presents a propulsive story despite being something you button-through one sentence at a time. I wish it felt a little less like a combat-funnel at times, but otherwise Knights of San Francisco is a strangely satisfying adventure.
