Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
You awaken as an old knight with no memory in a forgotten dungeon, where a strange voice directs you toward the depths. Explore the dungeon and your camp, encounter unsettling characters, and piece together what is happening through environmental clues.
Gather wood, stone, iron, and other materials by clicking or letting production run automatically. Spend resources on equipment and upgrades, then send the knight into largely automatic battles across as many as 1,000 dungeon floors; clicking enemy weak points can add attacks.
Dungeon progress earns hemalite for a permanent skill tree. Rebirth resets your current run and equipment, but lets you strengthen future attempts. Find items on dungeon floors and use them to solve point-and-click puzzles around camp, uncovering new areas and story progress.
Players who praise Horripilant often highlight its unsettling visual style and atmosphere, its point-and-click puzzles, and the appeal of combining those elements with resource gathering and rebirth-based progression. Some find the loop absorbing and the puzzles rewarding, while others feel the repeated dungeon runs and upgrades become slow or monotonous.
Horripilant is a chilling incremental dungeon crawl through the horrors of a forgotten underworld. Combining idler, puzzle and autobattler elements, you'll fight, mine, and think your way through the depths of a forsaken dungeon. With each step you'll grow stronger, but beware; every boon has its burden.
You awaken. An old, battered knight, lost in the darkest corners of an abandoned dungeon, with no memory of how you got there. The stench of decay permeates the thick air. The walls seem to whisper your name.
A strange tree catches your eye. Barely a sprout, growing in defiance of the dark. The voice demands you hit it. A twig breaks off onto the ground. The first of many.
Distorted moans echo from an empty staircase. Beckoning you. You must go down. It is your purpose...
