Paper Dungeon - Deep Down
SteamCrave a dungeon crawler like Dungeon Master, Wizardry, or Eye of the Beholder, but with stunning modern graphics and smooth controls? Paper Dungeon - Deep Down is our love letter to 80s and 90s classics, blending retro vibes with a haunting twist. No nonsense, no hand-holding - just pure gameplay and a dense atmosphere. Wishlist the game now and face the dungeon’s trials, hero!
Trapped in a strange place between life and death, your dungeon is a maze woven from 80s D&D nostalgia by the mysterious Overseer - a towering Dungeon Master figure who's trying to torment you for some unknown reason. Explore many unique levels, from trap-filled crypts and alchemist’s labs to a nightmarish infirmary or spider-infested nursery. Rest and try to adjust the dungeon from The Attic, a safe haven spun from sweet memories. But brace yourself for many unexpected surprises, horrific or hilarious, behind every secret room and lock.

Lead four of 12 unique heroes in turn-based battles where strategy rules. Outsmart enemies with 40+ conditions (Burning, Frozen...) that combo cleverly - ignite oil, shock wet foes. The battles are hardcore, but with 20+ Perks, 70+ abilities, dozens of stats, and hundreds of items, they are highly variable. Good tactics win over sheer power. Position your knight or alchemist wisely to outsmart the Overseer’s minions.

Dungeon floors are filled with hundreds of puzzles, traps, teleports, and secret rooms... plus a few surprises we won’t spoil - you’ll have to experience them yourself. Every lever or lock might spark a nostalgic gag or a story-shifting revelation. Can you unravel the dungeon’s truth as the Overseer rebuilds walls before your eyes? Can you bend the dungeon to your will?

Paper Dungeon - Deep Down revives dungeon crawling’s glory days.
