Same crypt. Every death is a lesson.
A daily turn-based dungeon roguelike you can finish over coffee. Every player descends the exact same crypt each day — same floors, same monsters, same treasure — and every move is a turn: you step, then everything else does. Bump into enemies to fight them, dodge the telegraphed arrows, grab gold and relics, and race down the stairs before your three hearts run out. Death is permanent, but the crypt doesn't change until midnight, so every run teaches you the layout. Unlimited attempts; your best score goes on today's leaderboard. Combat has zero dice rolls — every enemy follows strict, learnable rules, so when you die it's always your fault. Plays in one hand on mobile or with arrow keys on desktop.
Each day generates one crypt, identical for every player. Move one tile at a time — every step you take, the monsters take theirs. Reach the glowing stairs to descend; deeper floors are worth more points but spawn nastier enemies.
Combat is bump-to-attack: step into an enemy to hit it, and it hits back the same way. You have three hearts and they do not come back between floors — only potions heal.
Every threat is telegraphed. A red ! over an enemy means it will strike you next turn; Skeleton Archers draw a dotted line one turn before firing along it. If you die, you saw it coming.
Know your monsters: Rats chase in straight lines. Bats only move diagonally. Archers keep their distance and shoot. Tomb Guards are slow but take two hits. Wraiths drift straight through walls.
Gold, a Sword (double damage), and a Shield (blocks one hit) are hidden at fixed depths each day. Your score is depth reached, kills, and gold — die anywhere, and your best run of the day is what counts.
