Xdripia Games — Ludus Digitalis — is the dedicated games hub of Tales of Xdripia. It catalogues full-scale video game experiences and physical games, with browsable detail pages and in-browser playable prototypes where those exist. Its own framing covers the range honestly: from digital realms to tabletop conquests. This is a catalogue vertical, which means its job is to tell you what exists, what each thing is, and how to reach it — not to be the place you play.

Two collections#

Video Games collects digital adventures set in the Universe, each with a detail page at /video-games/{slug} and, where a prototype is playable, a /play route beneath it. Physical Games collects board games, card games, puzzles and games designed for young adventurers, browsable by category at /physical-games/{category}.

Games, Arcade, Terminus#

Three verticals involve play and each is a different thing. Games is the catalogue. The Arcade is a platform where short browser titles are played and progress is tracked. Terminus is a single persistent strategy experience with its own world state. Asking "where do I play?" has three answers depending on what you want, and the boundaries page in this section exists because the question comes up constantly.

Where the lore is#

The Codex holds a Game Manuals tome that situates the Universe's playable experiences inside the fiction. That is lore about games; the rules that govern play ship with each game.
