ADOM stands for Ancient Dungeons of Mystery.
After 6000 years of peace the beautiful world of Ancardia is once more threatened by the forces of Chaos. Dark and sinister beings emerge from a huge dungeon complex hidden in a remote mountain range known as the Drakalor Chain. They plunder, burn and kill everything they encounter and pose a serious threat to all life on Ancardia. The famous sage Khelavaster finally managed to locate the dungeon complex which seems to be the origin of all evil. Scores of adventurers travel to those ancient and mysterious dungeons to face whatever might be lurking in the vast depths of the complex.
ADOM is a so-called rogue-like game. This means that it is a single-user game which allows you to play the role of an intrepid adventurer exploring a large dungeon with some specific goal in mind. The graphics in the game are based on simple text characters and the game is controlled with a large number of keyboard commands.
