Goal

Complete the quest shown at the top right. If the quest is done and any hero survives, you win. If every hero is knocked out of the adventure (or the person you came to rescue is hurt too badly to go on), you lose.

Rounds & Action Points

Every round, each participant takes a turn in initiative order: heroes, monsters, freed allies, and finally the Dungeon itself (fire vents, stinky gas, and other hazards).

Heroes gain 4 AP each turn and can bank up to 6. Moving costs 1 AP per few tiles (your speed); attacks usually cost 2 AP; spells and skills cost 1–3 AP and some need a few turns to recharge.

Vision

You only see what your heroes can see. Torches light the way but also make you easy to spot. Darkvision lets some races see without light. Places you have explored are remembered, but monsters and items vanish from view once out of sight.

Controls

• Click a tile to move (the AP cost is shown on hover).
• Click an enemy to attack it (you'll step in if needed).
• Click a chest, fountain, door, lever, or prisoner to use it.
• Ability buttons or keys 1–9, then click a target. Right-click or Esc cancels.
• Space ends your turn, or skips the narration.
• ☰ (or Esc) opens the menu to start over, pick a new dungeon, start a new game, or quit.
• Your adventure saves automatically every turn. Quit any time and pick Continue Adventure on the title screen to keep playing on this device.
• T toggles your torch. C centers the camera.
• Drag to pan; mouse wheel to zoom; WASD/arrows pan.
• Tablets & phones: tap a spot to see the path, cost, or info, then tap it again to do it. Drag with one finger to pan, pinch to zoom, and use the ＋ － ◎ buttons on the map.

Tips

• Attacking unaware monsters gives advantage.
• Longer adventures have more than one level. Defeat the guardian of the stairs, step onto the stairs to go down, and each hero levels up and picks a reward.
• Search (1 AP) can uncover traps, treasure hidden under loose stones, secret levers, hidden doors to treasure rooms, and secret passages. If it gives you a "funny feeling," something is close: search again! If nothing is nearby, you'll get a clue about which way to go.
• Iron gates open with a puzzle: pull every secret torch lever (they look like normal torches, so walk close or Search), or have heroes stand on every footprint stone at once.
• Cave Trolls heal every turn unless they were burned by fire since their last turn.
• Rogues deal Sneak Attack damage when an ally is next to the target.
• Rest when no monsters are around to heal up: +1 HP on the first turn, +2 the next, and so on until fully healed. One hero or the whole party can rest. An attack ruins the rest, and resting too long in one place may bring wandering monsters!
• Knocked-out heroes make wake-up rolls. Three misses and a guardian spirit carries them home to Emberglen. Potions, Cure Wounds, or Help Up get them back on their feet.
• Glowing vents will erupt when the Dungeon takes its turn. Don't stand on or next to them.
