About the Game

NDE Near Dungeon Experience - A retro SNES styled turn-based RPG/Survival game.

GAMEPLAY

Explore 7 Dungeons, as you ascend upwards towards the truth of where you are and who you are.

Reclaim your memories, fight or avoid enemies, solve puzzles, collect treasure, trade with and be Guided by... Guide, a mysterious spirit.

Learn skills and figure out what strategies work best for each enemy.

Find tools to access new areas of each dungeon, you can climb, dig, jump, light your way and find previously inaccessible areas...and an Easter Egg or two.

With the SIN SYSTEM your stats are altered according to your choices.

Also, being an SNES inspired game, there are NO AUTO-Saves, so save save save.

ADDITIONAL

There are 4 modes of gameplay; Fighter (EASY), Loner (NORMAL), Scholar (HARD) and Ecto (NIGHTMARE)

Each with their own gears, shops, enemies and skills.

A playthrough of ALL MODES is approximately 11 Hours... for me...

Utilizes RPG Maker VX Ace, so naturally the focus was to create a game as NON-Vanilla as possible.

All the Music and graphics are original.
