About the Game

A 2D turn-based dungeon crawler puzzle game where you play as a dwarf.

Every move counts. The game is turn-based, but turns advance automatically if you wait too long — forcing quick thinking and smart decisions as you solve puzzles, navigate traps, and escape dangerous dungeons. The game has 3 types of maps to play.


  • Hand-made maps

  • Short startegy encounters

  • Solve and try yourself against different mechanics

  • Hand-made maps

  • Medium long scenarios

  • Explore and find your way to escape

  • Work in progress but available as preview

  • Procedurally generated open world

  • Settle in one place or explore - sandbox experience

The game is moddable. Most of what you see is driven by simple text-based configuration files. Creating new maps, objects, and behaviors is possible. A ready-to-use example mod (small map + new object with custom behavior) is already available on the Steam Workshop.
