Avernum

Avernum is a series of demoware role-playing video games by Jeff Vogel of Spiderweb Software available for Macintosh and Windows-based computers. Several are available for iPad, and were formerly available for Android.

There are six canonical games in the series. The first three games in the series are remakes of the Exile series, collectively entitled Avernum: First Trilogy. The next three games (Avernum: Second Trilogy) were released in 2005, 2007, and 2009, respectively, are built on a newer game engine, and are entirely original, not being remakes of any previous games. The Avernum games, like other Spiderweb Software games, are designed with a focus on gameplay and storytelling over graphical elements. In December 2011, a newer version of Avernum was released, Avernum: Escape from the Pit, followed by its sequels Avernum 2: Crystal Souls in 2015, Avernum 3: Ruined World in 2018, and Avernum 4: Greed and Glory in 2025.
