A co-op roguelike for 1 to 4 friends.

Take a contract at the tavern, head down the cellar stairs, and fight like a real party: hold threat, kick the cast, stand in the right ring. Bring the boss's hoard home, or lose the lot.

One more delve before closing time

Fight like a party

Every class has a rotation to learn. The Guardian holds threat, the Mender keeps everyone standing, and yellow casts get kicked or someone pays for it. Every boss move is telegraphed on the floor, so a wipe is always on you.

Short delves, real stakes

A delve is about fifteen minutes. Three make an expedition, and the third ends at the boss. Pick the Depth at the cellar door: every step down makes the foes tougher and adds a new rule. Wipe, and you walk home with only what is in your chest.

A tavern to come home to

Between delves the Hair of the Hog is your base. Sell loot to Odo, have Wren appraise it, get Brann to forge it, learn techniques from Hale, take Marta's contracts, bet coin on your friends, or start a brawl.

Four classes, one of each

Play solo or bring up to three friends. A party never doubles up on a class, so every player has a job nobody else can do, and your class is yours for the life of the save.

  • The Guardian: an armored dwarf with a barrel-lid shield and a mace

    Tank

    Guardian

    Holds every foe's attention behind a barrel-lid shield. Shield Roll shrugs off anything for a moment.

  • The Mender: a hooded healer in white and gold robes with a sun staff

    Healer

    Mender

    Mends the ally who needs it, wraps the party in Sanctuary, and spends her Grace on Smite when nobody is hurt.

  • The Duelist: a swordsman in a long brown coat and red scarf with a rapier

    Damage

    Duelist

    Lunges through a pack to leave it Exposed, builds Momentum, and spends it all in a Whirl. Tumbles through attacks nearly at will.

  • The Hexer: a hooded caster in purple with a green-flamed wand

    Caster

    Hexer

    Blights foes from range, rains cinders on the pack, and bursts the curse across the room. Quicksteps out of trouble.

Four places, four bosses

Each place under the tavern ends at its own boss, who learns new moves at Depth 4 and again at Depth 7.

Mother Malt, a huge rat in an apron with a keg on her back and a mash paddle

The Old Cellar

Mother Malt

Slops the floor with scalding brew. Every pool she leaves hurts, and her Long Draught heals her more for each one.

The Shardmother, a pale salamander crowned with violet crystals

Glimmer Hollow

The Shardmother

Lays rows of crystal across her nest, then turns the light on you. Find the gap and keep ahead of the beam.

The Last Sexton, a hunched skeleton gravedigger with a bell on his back and a shovel

The Sunken Crypt

The Last Sexton

Rings The Toll to raise the dead. Kick it, or fight them too. When the Death Knell sounds, put a pillar between you and him.

Old Marrowmaw, a giant scarred boar in a barrel-hoop harness

Thornroot Wood

Old Marrowmaw

The hog himself. Stand together for the Marrow Crush, get out of the herd's lanes, and kick his Blood Frenzy.
