Entry to The Dungeon Crawler Game Jam 2024

Theme(s):

Our entry focuses on two of the Jam's themes, namely Infinity/The Endless and Solitude.

Infinity/The Endless - All enemies are procedurally generated and hence there are an infinite amount of enemies you can encounter

Solitude - You are in a dark maze all by yourself and the goal is to escape. As you are more isolated i.e. in darker areas for long periods, your sanity goes down which impacts gameplay.

Controls

W/A/S/D - Up, Down, Left, Right

Q/E Turn Left/Right

Space - Place torch

R - Attack

F - Heals

Esc - Pause Menu

Click and Drag - Monitor Dials

Gameplay Mechanics

An infinite amount of enemies can be encountered as you explore the dungeon.

The goal is to escape the dungeon and get to the final room. While exploring the dungeon you must be mindful of your sanity meter which decreases the longer you are in darkness (purple meter in the game). Lower sanity results in more dangers enemies encounter.

You will encounter puzzles that will require you to edit the display setting on your in-game monitor to uncover secrets.

You must also be mindful of the faulty noise dial on your monitor and adjust as needed.

Note: WebGL version has bugged UI.
