About the Game

Made within a month for NaNoRenO 2023. Now enhanced for Steam!





I, the great Cautionne, Disciple of Danger and Emperor of MalViolence, am holding you as my latest test subject.

'Course, you trespassed on my lair first, so it’s not like you can complain.



I get it. You wanted something from me. Or your boss did. Or your boss’s boss did.

So how about we make a deal?



You solve my escape rooms, do a little lab work, consult on a deadly trap or two, and I'll let you leave scot-free. Doesn't that sound nice?

But before you go, let me give you some advice...



Don't make any mistakes.

Because if you do - you're not gonna like what happens next.




  • A gripping, villainous scenario written by Mado, Of The Devil's Brian Mulholland, and Z.
