[Forever-Free Friday] Dreadmyst, retro fantasy MMORPG (store.steampowered.com)

Dreadmyst is an online fantasy RPG running on its own engine. Customize your stats and abilities as you slaughter the aberrations plaguing a cursed land. Choose from four playable classes, level up, farm gear, run dungeons (PvE), and fight other players (PvP). Tab target combat.

Summary from PC Gamer:

This fantasy MMO looks like a mix of Ultima Online (because of the ye olde isometric stylings) and World of Warcraft (because of the combat). If you long for MMOs of yore and resent modern monetisation schemes, this is worth checking out. As an enthusiast project, the devs have "no plans to introduce paid content or monetization."

What Custom Anti-Cheat software does this use?

I did a little digging. It looks like the dev posted to Reddit and answered a question about this:

It's an online game where the logic runs server side. That means most of the "anti-cheat" mostly revolves around anti-botting which is a server problem. Steam asks to know if you're using an industry recognized anti-cheat system. I'm not, and it's questionable how useful one of those would be for an online game like this.
