Description

An unspeakable evil came from the abyssal depths and seized the dungeon... Few managed to escape, more were devoured by the slimy horrors completely, while most of the dungeon inhabitants became servants and slaves to the horrors of the deep. But they are mutating to something different and what is even worse: cadavers in the crypts start to wake up! Who will stop this madness and save the dungeon creatures? Of course, he or she will need to kill a lot of them during the quest, but could you stay doing nothing when you see the freedom is being trampled?! As a member of the old guild who traces and fights tracks of the activity of the Old Slimy Ones in the world, you take your weapons and spells and the fast-paced dungeon-crawling starts immediately! p-r-karet-na-game-crafter.png

In 2020, I started designing this game with one goal in mind: to revive the vibe of the good old PC dungeon crawlers (like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Lands of Lore, Wizardry and similar). I put the project on hold a few times since, as it was too difficult for me to finish, but finally in 2026, we have a playable version here! It may still have some flaws as I am rather just a big fan of these games and an illustrator than a professional game designer, but I decided to publish this version nevertheless, hoping it will amuse similarly affected individuals. I will promptly react to all feedback, so if there are some details missing in the rules or stuff, I will clarify them in the BGG profile with the game. Therefore, be ready to work with that page as well, please.
