A downloadable Limes_Text for Windows and macOS

Welcome to Limes, an interactive historical narrative set during the 3rd century AD. Follow the story of a young Alemanni child caught in a conspiracy that threatens to ignite war between the Alemanni tribes and the Roman Empire. Alongside Ariovist, a Roman centurion, you'll navigate a world of political intrigue and cultural clashes.

This text version is connected to the game Limes (available at https://amedeoviccari.itch.io/limes) and includes the same rich storyline, Codex entries, and historical content found in the game. Through reading, you'll dive even deeper into the history of the Roman Limes and the Alemanni people.

The text is available in both English and German.

How to Run Limes on Windows if You See a Security Warning

Sometimes, when you download and try to run Limes, Windows may show a security message like this:

“Windows protected your PC” Windows Defender SmartScreen might block the game, even though it's safe to use.

Here’s how you can bypass this message:

  1. When you see the message "Windows protected your PC", click on the link that says More info.
  2. After clicking More info, you will see additional details about the app, including the developer's name. At the bottom, you'll see a button that says Run anyway.
  3. Click Run anyway to start the game. This will allow Limes to run on your computer.

Rest assured, the game is completely safe to play!


For Mac Users:

  1. Download the "Limes folder ending with Mac" file.
  2. Find the downloaded file in Finder.
  3. Double-click the file to unzip it.
  4. After unzipping, you will find the "Limes.app" file.
  5. Double-click the "Limes.app" file to launch the game. If your Mac restricts opening apps from unidentified developers, control-click the "Limes.app" and choose "Open" from the menu to bypass the restriction.

Some Mac users may experience additional problems. I would recommend to download the PDF called MAC_USERS_READ_BEFORE_DOWNLOAD, for a more comprehensive description. 

Enjoy the world of "Limes"!
