About the Game

Pawndemonium is a turn-based tactical dungeon crawler where chess has gone straight to hell — literally. You play a cursed pawn cast into the infernal checkerboards, fighting to reclaim your lost soul.

⚔️ Survive relentless ambushes from demonic chess pieces.
🧠 Plan every move carefully — your position is your power.
🔮 Collect cursed relics and unholy weapons to shift the odds.
🕳️ Descend through procedurally generated boards where every level is more dangerous than the last.
♟️ Learn the twisted rules of this damned game where bishops teleport, knights charge through walls, and pawns aren't as weak as they look.
🗝️ Reach the Pawndemonium... if you can.

One pawn. One soul. One chance to master the corrupted game of hell.
