ROMERIA

Walk or run.
Explore your way.

Walk or run at your own pace on a compatible treadmill in procedural worlds. Without a treadmill, explore with a keyboard or controller in Stroll mode.

On your treadmill

Walk or run at your own pace on a compatible treadmill through generated worlds. The game reads your speed but never starts or speeds up the treadmill.

Compatibility with each model will be checked during the playtest.

In Stroll mode

No treadmill? Explore these generated worlds with a keyboard or controller, at your own pace.

Stroll mode is played without a treadmill.

Walk or run
on your treadmill

On Windows PC, walk or run according to your plan. The game keeps your discoveries and equipment for your next sessions.

  1. Connect your treadmill, or play without one.

    Bluetooth FTMS reads the speed of a compatible treadmill. Other models can use an open connector. Without a treadmill, Stroll mode works with a keyboard or controller.

    Compatibility with each model will be checked during the playtest.

  2. Choose your plan.

    Use the built-in coach or keep your usual coach. You can also connect your own ChatGPT or Claude assistant. The game checks a plan before applying it.

    An external assistant is optional. The built-in coach does not need an AI subscription.

  3. Walk, run, discover.

    Your pilgrim follows a generated trail. Meet animals and pilgrims, find objects and unlock the next part of your route. The Journal keeps track of your discoveries.

    Following your plan consistently is what counts. Effort beyond your plan earns no rewards.

Your plan
stays in charge.

Romeria is here for your walks and runs. It does not ask you to break a record.

  • You set the pace.

    The game never starts or speeds up the treadmill. A connector reads its speed and can, at most, stop it.

  • Consistency comes first.

    The game respects your plan and your rest days. Cooperation between players is planned after the playtest, without speed races.

  • Your data stays on your PC.

    Sessions and saves are stored locally. No health data is uploaded. You choose which information an external assistant can access.

  • Open connectors.

    The connector kit is open source under Apache 2.0. It lets developers adapt the connection to other treadmills while keeping the same safety limits.
