Dante's RUMBA

A route-planning puzzle game set in an oddly cozy version of Dante’s Inferno. Clean up Hell, one circle at a time, discover various traps, and help Faust deal with a malfunctioning Rumba, an overly dramatic dead poet, and a personal mission he won’t quite talk about.

About the Game

"Brrrrr brbrb, beeeeeep brbrbrbr brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Brrbrrrbr."

- Virgil

HELL IS IMPURE!

Literally. It’s filthy down here. So filthy, in fact, that Dante and Virgil (now trapped inside a broken Rumba) are forced to rely on a dead modern guy named Faust - who’s got nothing better to do than clean it up... or does he?

Dante’s Rumba is a clever and comedic route-planning puzzle game set in a cozy, modernized version of Inferno. You’re not here to slay demons - you’re here to tidy up. After all, these poor damned souls deserve to suffer in a clean, orderly environment.

For each circle, we introduce nuanced variations of the core route-planning mechanics, adding layers of depth and strategic complexity. These variations keep gameplay fresh, entertaining, and challenging while maintaining the familiarity of the fundamental system.

For players who enjoy story-rich experiences, there's a fully optional narrative packed with dark humour, philosophical snark, and awkward encounters with various characters - like Cleopatra, Homer, Mephistopheles, and the endless confusion of explaining tabletop games to a medieval poet.

Features:

  • Strategic Route Planning

    Guide the Rumba through increasingly complex arenas of sin. Optimize your path, avoid traps, and leave no infernal mess behind.

  • Humorous Hellscape

    Explore a reimagined Hell full of warm taverns, broken metaphors, and deeply unhelpful poets.

  • Replayability and Exploration

    Strive for high scores, discover secrets, and unlock extra dialogue and content as you revisit and master each level.

  • Bite-Sized Gameplay

    Designed for quick play sessions - perfect for cleaning Hell on your lunch break.
