Overview

The Town has been cursed: 500 years remain until its prophesied destruction. The source of the destruction lies within a dungeon whose entrance appears once every 5 years. The Town initiates a program to train adventurers to explore the dungeon and save The Town.

Build characters and send them into the dungeon to find glory and riches. A character’s class. abilities, equipment, and stats determine their effectiveness in the dungeon. Characters can’t be equipped for every situation. The adventurers who survive the longest are the ones who know when to turn back!

If they succeed, their legacy will live on. If they fail, everything they ever were will be lost to time.

As years pass and the depths of the dungeon are plunged, the Town’s destruction grows ever closer. Reach the bottom of the dungeon to purge the evil and save The Town.
