About the Game

Cook what you kill.

Cook the Dungeon is a first-person roguelike deckbuilder where every fight feeds the next.

Descend through a branching dungeon, explore its hidden corners, forage for herbs, and hunt strange creatures for their most valuable parts. Build a deck of Cuts, Preps, and Seasons, then turn a clean kill into tonight’s special

Every slice matters.

Bring a monster to exactly 0 HP with a Precise Cut™ to harvest its part for cooking. Deal too much damage and the meat is ruined. Walk away empty-handed, and you may not have what you need for the battles ahead.

Choose your cards carefully, control your damage, and make every cut count.

Cook what you collect

Combine freshly harvested monster parts with herbs and plants found throughout the dungeon.

Prepare meals at the campfire using different ingredients, seasonings, and cooking times. Each dish grants unique effects that can shape your deck, strengthen a strategy, or help you survive the next encounter.

The meal you cook could decide the fight you survive.

Build your perfect run

Unlock multiple playable characters, each with their own cards, mechanics, and approach to hunting.

Experiment with different combinations of Cuts, Preps, Seasons, relics, ingredients, and recipes as you descend deeper into the dungeon.
