About the Game

Cat & Mouse Dungeon is a dungeon-crawling card battler where exploration and deckbuilding are tightly connected. As you move deeper into the dungeon, you will discover enemies, traps, treasure chests, and crystal storage points, all while building the backpack that defines your next battle.

Your backpack is more than inventory. It determines your starting combat cards, which means every choice you make in the dungeon directly affects how the next fight begins. Battles are played around a shared draw pile used by everyone in the encounter, creating constant tension, sudden reversals, and explosive outcomes.

Attack cards pressure your target with extra turns. Reflect cards send danger back where it came from. Skip cards help you escape relentless pressure. Defuse cards are your only protection when bombs appear. Rare missile cards can force an enemy into immediate danger and completely change the flow of combat in a single move.

Every run is a balance between planning and survival. You can play carefully, protect your strongest utility cards, and build for consistency, or push for high-risk, high-reward plays that blow open the battle. With each chest, each trap, and each victory, your build evolves and your strategy changes.
