A downloadable analog dungeon crawler

Buy Now$1.99 USD or more

This solo paper-and-dice procedural dungeon crawl finds you taken captive by the evil psionic aliens known as the MINDLASHERS.  Thrown into a MEMBRANOUS CELL to be turned into a mindless HUSK, you must use your STRENGTH, SKILL, MIND, and even your LUCK if you're going to find your way home.

Battle a dozen different hideous MONSTERS, face CHALLENGES,  navigate your way through different SOCIAL and WEIRD encounters.  Try not to be ASSIMILATED!

This is a satisfyingly challenging analog game where you get to draw a cool map, roll some dice, and uncover a procedurally-generated dungeon crawl narrative. 

Will you survive? Will you end up a HUSK like so many other poor souls? Will you escape... 

...The HIVE OF THE MINDLASHERS?

1st character: 1st room; Braineater; died.

2nd character: 1st room; Challenge; Tremors; failed, dropped lantern, died.

3rd character: 10th room (first monster encounter after failing a variety of Social, Challenge, Weird, and Drain effects) Void Stalker, died.

But at least the 3rd one was fun. I like having a goal (escape) to work towards.

one question: Braineater has no damage die, so you gain no XP for fighting one; was this intentional?

Those are some brutal runs! That’s to be expected—- I set out to make a game harder than Abyss. The braineaters don’t give any XP, that was something I noticed while playtesting and kept it in because it fits my idea of them being pesky little creatures.
