Our love for dungeon crawlers is no secret, so you can only imagine the sheer delight that washed over us when we stumbled upon a captivating old-school dungeon crawler. The nostalgic charm and allure of this game instantly grabbed our attention, transporting us back to a time when adventure and peril awaited around every corner.
Paper App Dungeon is an innovative and captivating dungeon crawler that has been cleverly designed to fit right in your pocket. The pages in this notebook offer a one-of-a-kind experience with a procedurally generated, 60-page adventure awaiting your exploration. Equipped with your trusty P6 pencil-die, you embark on a thrilling journey to collect treasures, acquire powerful items, and engage in exhilarating battles against fearsome monsters, all within the confines of addictive and compact gameplay sessions.
The core mechanics of Paper App Dungeon revolve around the unique implementation of the P6 pencil-die. With six sides, the pencil serves as a versatile tool that doubles as your very own six-sided die. To determine your actions and outcomes within the game, simply roll the P6 pencil and observe the result. This mechanic adds an element of chance and excitement to every decision you make, as the pencil roll determines your fate within the dungeon.
As you progress through the dungeon, you'll encounter various challenges and obstacles. To overcome them, you'll need to roll your pencil and draw a path on the adventure pages provided in the notebook. The path you sketch represents your character's movement, and each segment of the path reveals what lies ahead, including potential treasures, encounters, or traps. Navigate your way strategically, keeping a keen eye out for valuable loot and avoiding dangerous pitfalls.
Discovering treasures is a central aspect of Paper App Dungeon. When you stumble upon a treasure chest, for instance, you'll roll your pencil to unlock it. The outcome of the roll determines the contents of the chest, which can range from gold and powerful artifacts to mysterious potions or even dangerous curses. Choosing whether to take risks and open the chests adds an element of suspense and risk-reward decision-making to the game.
To enhance your chances of survival and success, you can spend the gold you acquire on buying powerful items from the in-game shop. These items provide you with additional abilities, boosts, or protective gear to aid you in your battles against the diverse array of monsters that lurk within the dungeon. Engage in short, intense combat encounters where the pencil roll determines the effectiveness of your attacks and the outcomes of your clashes.
Paper App Dungeon strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and depth, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go gaming sessions. Whether you have a few minutes to spare or are seeking a longer gaming experience, the unique blend of the physical pencil-die and the engrossing adventure pages guarantees an immersive and addictive gameplay experience. Embark on this pocket-sized dungeon-crawling adventure and let your pencil guide you through a world of treasures and perils!
We're really looking forward to the release of this game due both to our love of dungeon crawlers and its impressive features. Having had the chance to examine a copy, we can confidently say that its compact size, roughly A6-sized, makes it incredibly portable. You can effortlessly pop it into your pocket, ensuring you're always prepared to play whenever you find a spare moment. The ingenious use of the pencil as a die further adds to its convenience, eliminating the need for multiple components. With just the notebook and pencil, you have everything required for an engaging gaming experience.
What's also exciting is the affordability of this game, expected to be priced under £10. This makes it an excellent choice for a gift too! Additionally, as a single-player game, it's perfect for taking to work. You can easily take it along and enjoy it during your breaks, immersing yourself in the captivating world of Paper App Dungeon.
Paper App Dungeon is expected to release this autumn.
