KoL is, and always will be, free to play, but donations are appreciated and will be rewarded. KoL is played from the comfort of your browser, and it is adorned with a staggering array of stunning hand-drawn images. It is turn-based, which means you get a certain number of turns each day.

Surprise, it's our next game! Shadows Over Loathing, available right now on Steam.

As an open-ended game, Kingdom of Loathing doesn't have concrete goals. Instead, players choose their own objectives. Many players choose to collect things, as a measure of their progress, or to show off.

The overarching plot of the game, such as it is, involves defeating the aptly-named Naughty Sorceress, who has imprisoned the beloved ruler of the Kingdom, King Ralph XI, in a prism (this is known in-game as his being "imprismed").

The game treats you with funny stick figures and doodle-like illustrations that match well with its comical theme. To start your new adventure, click the Map icon and select the region or area you want to explore.

Feb 1, 2023 · I’ve been into Shadows over Loathing this week and it’s making me want to get back into KoL. Is this still worthwhile, or am I so far behind in iotm that it’s not worth picking back up? How has the quality of the game changed in the last decade

Sep 12, 2005 · Kol is a free (yes, free!) game chokeful of content, jokes and gameplay and is in my opinion one of the best Web experiences you can find nowadays. Also, the designers/administrators are such a commited bunch you'd be hard-pressed to find folks like that somewhere else, especially when you see the effort they make to keep the game free.
