About the Game

Novice Dungeon Master is a turn-based strategy simulation management game.

It's a game where the protagonist, who used to explore beginner dungeons, becomes the master of a dungeon due to a contract and manages the dungeon for 30 days, set in a fantasy world with dungeons, adventures, monsters, and guilds.

Various types of adventurers visit the dungeon.

And they visit the dungeon for different purposes.

Herbs and minerals, battles and treasures, dreams and hopes...

Anything is possible in the dungeon.

So how do you send them back?

There are various methods. For example,

you can place facilities they desire...

Or set up traps...

Or you can place monsters.

If they are satisfied in the dungeon, word will spread and the dungeon's popularity will increase, which means more adventurers will come!

If they face danger in the dungeon, word will get out that the dungeon is dangerous, but that also becomes a reason for adventurers to visit.

However, if they fail to obtain what they want, they will leave disappointed.

This will directly lead to a decline in the dungeon's popularity.

You must try to prevent this from happening. Because according to the contract, you must defend the dungeon while also increasing its rank!

No matter what method you use, just grow and defend the dungeon!

If you safely complete the 30-day contract...

An ending based on your actions will await you!

Head into the dungeon to find out what ending awaits you!
