About the Game

Watch—and destiny changes.　

An auto-battler roguelite.

—A tale of choices and loss across a 100-floor tower.

Towerlings is a tower simulation where adventurers act on their own as they climb a 100-floor tower—
and you, as the “hand of a god,” watch over them and step in only when it matters.

You don’t directly control characters.
What matters is a single thing: when, who, and how you intervene.

Key Features

■ A new kind of adventure—no direct control

Your adventurers act automatically through AI.
Combat, exploration, and party composition all happen on their own.
You intervene only at crucial moments to guide the flow.

■ Elite few, or overwhelming numbers—every choice has a cost

When an adventurer dies, they’re gone for good.
The experience and items held by powerful monsters are finite.

Do you send many to advance safely—
or raise a few, take risks, and push for a breakthrough?

Every decision shapes the tower’s fate.

■ Classes and headcount decide your path

The tower contains Class Gates that require specific roles—or a certain number of adventurers—to pass.
When you summon and assemble your party, and on which floors, becomes a puzzle-like strategic challenge.

■ Easy to pick up—hard to stop watching

Your adventurers keep moving even without constant input.
Short sessions still make progress, and the floors you’ve reached become your results.

In a top-down 3D view, watching a lively crowd of adventurers scurry, fight, and explore is part of the fun.
