What is Dungeons?

Dungeons puts you in the shoes of a mischievous Dungeon Lord who entices brave heroes with promises of treasure, only to ensnare them in elaborate, deadly contraptions. Your goal is to keep the captives comfortable until the "harvest" arrives, extracting their soul energy for your own twisted delight. The game blends real‑time strategy, role‑playing, and sandbox simulation with a darkly comedic tone, offering a single‑player experience where you design, manage, and upgrade your labyrinthine prison to maximize the harvest each cycle.
