Support
Questions, bug reports, and feature requests for Chosen's MUD Client for Ancient Anguish. The app is built by a solo developer who reads every message.
Contact
Email is the fastest path for anything specific to the app — installation, subscriptions, App Store issues, bug reports. Discord is a good place for casual questions, troubleshooting in real time, and chatting with other players who use the client.
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect to the game?
Open the app, tap or click Connect, enter your character name and password, and hit Login. The default host is ancient.anguish.org:2222, which you can change at any time from Settings → Connection.
How do I create a new character?
Character creation happens inside the game itself. Connect to the server, choose new at the login prompt, and follow the in-game instructions. The game is free to play and always has been — see anguish.org for a deeper introduction.
I subscribed to a Support tier. How do I manage or cancel it?
Subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple. Open apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions (or Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device) to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel any tier. The Support tiers are purely cosmetic — nothing in the app is gated behind them, so cancelling never removes a feature.
The Restore Purchases button does not bring back my subscription.
Make sure you are signed in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that bought the subscription, then tap Restore Purchases on the Support screen. If it still does not appear, email the address above with the approximate purchase date and we can sort it out.
The on-screen keyboard pops up when I do not want it to.
Tap anywhere outside the input field to dismiss the keyboard. The terminal area itself never steals focus.
The colors look wrong / the text is too small.
Open Settings → Appearance. The client ships four themes (RPG Dark, Classic Dark, High Contrast, and a fully editable Custom palette) and a scalable-font slider from 8 pt to 32 pt. The High Contrast theme is built for low-vision players and uses bright yellow and cyan on a deep black background.
The map does not render, or shows the wrong area.
Map detection runs from coordinates the MUD sends; some areas pre-date that telemetry. Open Settings → Map to disable map rendering or to provide a custom area name. Email the address above with the room name and we can extend the bundled area list.
VoiceOver / screen-reader support?
The client uses Flutter's native VoiceOver bindings. The input field, scrollback, HUD elements, and Quick Commands all read out. If you find a control that does not announce correctly, please email — accessibility regressions get top priority.
Where do I report a bug?
Email is the most reliable path: sami.lamti@gmail.com. Include the platform (iPhone / iPad / Mac / Windows / Linux / Android), the app version (visible in Settings → About), and a brief description of what you saw vs. what you expected. Screenshots are welcome.
How do I suggest a feature?
Same channel as bug reports — email or Discord. Every message is read; many of the client's features (the high-contrast theme, the social windows, advanced customization) came directly from player requests.
Questions about the game itself
Ancient Anguish (the MUD) is an independent service operated by its own team since 1991. Questions about gameplay, character disputes, in-game events, or the game's own policies go to the game's team rather than the app developer. The official Ancient Anguish home page is at anguish.org.
