From the Devs

DIVE INTO THE DEPTHS, SURVIVE, AND FORGE YOUR LEGEND!

Embark on a relentless journey into the heart of darkness in this isometric Action-Roguelite that blends the nostalgic charm of pixel art with modern "bullet heaven" action and deep tabletop RPG mechanics. Survive against swarms of enemies, upgrade your main base with the loot you gather from the depths of the dungeon, and prove your might against ruthless final bosses.

ONE AGAINST THE HORDE (AUTO-BATTLE)

When you enter combat nodes, your character automatically attacks the nearest enemy. Your only task is mastering movement and your dash ability to find the perfect positioning, dodge enemy swarms, and clear the screen with the right spell combinations. Level up during combat and pick from the spell cards and stat cards presented to you to multiply your power.

STRATEGIC NODE NAVIGATION & DREAM TRAPS

Your 19-stage dungeon run requires careful planning. Navigate through 7 distinct node types:

• Event Nodes: Face over 30 unique text-based events. Your choices are resolved by hidden d20 dice rolls dependent on stats like Damage or Intelligence. High stats grant bonuses; low stats deduct. Succeed for massive rewards, or fail and face dangerous debuffs.

• DreamTrap Nodes: Enter a high-stakes arena against elite foes. Defeat them within a strict time limit to spawn a DreamTrap Stone, granting you a choice of 3 out of 9 powerful, run-exclusive buffs.

• Trade & Bathhouse Nodes: Spend your hard-earned gold on exclusive Lapisia stones and legendary gear, or rest at the Bathhouse to recover your health before the next battle.

RETURN TO YOUR BASE AND GROW STRONGER

Death is not the end, but a new beginning! Return to your main base with resources and permanently upgrade your character:

• MageNPC: Unlock 16 different spells using gold and scrolls. Unlocked spells appear as cards during combat. Pick the same spell up to 6 times to massively increase its damage, speed, and area of effect.

• Blacksmith: Upgrade your weapons and armor up to +3. Insert exclusive "Lapisia" stones into special sockets to grant your character customized stat boosts.

• Merchant & Prep Panel: Buy new outfits, weapons, and runes. Drink stat-boosting potions suited to your limits before diving back into the fray.

• Aura Buffs: Collect rare dungeon flowers and gold to purchase powerful, one-time "Aura Buffs" from hidden NPCs unlocked by defeating regional bosses.

DYNAMIC AND PROCEDURAL DUNGEONS

A completely procedural 19-stage path awaits you on every run. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere with dynamically changing rain, snow, fog, and wind VFX as you progress through the Green, Red, and Purple themed zones. Survive the grueling environments and prepare to face the ultimate threats: the dark lord Backi and the dark knight Kago. Fully playable with a keyboard and mouse or a gamepad.
