TYPE TO SURVIVE

You are trapped inside a winding dungeon filled with interconnected rooms, corridors, items, puzzles, and monsters.

Move through the dungeon by typing commands to walk, run, crawl, turn, jump, attack, and use abilities.

Explore the dungeon and figure out how to escape, while avoiding being killed by the monsters roaming the area.

EVADE OR FIGHT THE DUNGEON MONSTERS

Each monster has different behaviors. Avoid them, sneak past them, or fight back using weapons or magic.

The scarecrow moves quickly, but it has poor hearing and can't see well in the dark.

The ooze can't see at all, but it can hear every step you take.

The ghost sees better in the dark than the light, and it can phase through the walls and is unaffected by weapons.

ESCAPE THE DUNGEON

Escaping the dungeon requires more than just finding the exit. Search rooms and corridors for clues, gather important items such as weapons and magical spellbooks, interact with the environment, and solve the puzzles scattered throughout the dungeon.

PROCEDURALLY GENERATED DUNGEON

Each run generates an entirely new dungeon, changing the layout of the rooms and corridors, as well as where in the dungeon the various items and monsters appear.

SCORES AND LEADERBOARDS

Receive a score upon finishing a run based on your run completion time and difficulty mode. Check the leaderboards to compare your score against other players globally, as well as against your Steam friends.

A HAND-PAINTED HORROR WORLD

All of the game's artwork is hand-painted with watercolor paint.
