About the Game

Ad Iterum is a turn-based dungeon crawler set in a decaying, ever-shifting world. Flesh is fragile, but you can hack it. Enhance your body, embrace mutations, or seal ancient blood pacts. Descend into the depths, scavenge what’s left of humanity, and crawl back alive...if you can. Kill. Die. Repeat.

Devour your enemies to gain powerful mutations. Twist your body with new strengths, senses, and abilities... but every gift comes with a cost.

Descend through layers of shifting ruins, hostile biomes, and forgotten machinery. Unstable environments reveal new threats, hidden chambers, and rare mutations waiting to be claimed. 

Every descent is a gamble: press on for power, or turn back before the depths consume you.

Every choice shapes your run, and your survival. The mutations you accept, the gear you carry, the shortcuts you take, and the risks you embrace. Even small decisions can cascade into major consequences, creating unique builds, unexpected synergies, or fatal flaws. There are no safe paths.
