About the Game

Welcome to Deathtrap!

You've been thrown into the Deathtrap, a deadly tower filled with traps, monsters, and forgotten secrets. Your only way out is to explore its depths, grow stronger, and uncover the artifacts hidden within.

Welcome to Deathtrap! is an old-school first-person grid-based dungeon crawler inspired by the classics of the genre. Navigate a hand-crafted labyrinth, fight dangerous creatures, collect powerful equipment, and discover the secrets buried inside the tower.

But escaping the Deathtrap is not only about reaching the end. Throughout your journey, you will find unique artifacts that grant new abilities and change the way you interact with the world. Crush obstacles, move ancient structures, unlock hidden passages, and return to previously explored areas to discover paths that were once unreachable.

Carefully manage your resources, improve your character, equip powerful gear, and make every decision count. The Deathtrap rewards curiosity, preparation, and those brave enough to explore every corner.


KEY FEATURES:

Metroidvania-Style Progression:

The Deathtrap is a massive puzzle. Many paths will be blocked by environmental hazards or ancient magic.
Discover powerful relics that change how you navigate the dungeon, allowing you to backtrack and unlock secret areas you couldn't reach before.

Old-School Grid Movement & Real-Time Combat:

Immerse yourself in classic step-by-step exploration and sharp, gritty pixel art.
Face off against deadly monstrosities in tense, real-time combat where positioning and timing mean the difference between life and death.

Loot, Equip, and Build Your Stats:

Customize your character to fit your playstyle. Defeat enemies, find hidden chests, and equip powerful gear and artifacts to alter your attributes and survive deeper descents.

A Handcrafted Labyrinth:

Every corridor, trap, hidden wall, and enemy placement is meticulously designed to challenge your wits and reward thorough exploration.

Atmospheric Retro Aesthetic:

Experience a dark, nostalgic visual style that captures the isolation and grit of classic 90s dungeon crawlers. 

A classic dungeon crawling experience
