Da Bridge Troll

Da Bridge Troll is a roguelike survival simulation in which you play a troll ruling a lonely bridge in a fractured realm. Manage your hunger, trinkets and favor as travelers from nine rival factions approach, bringing opportunities and danger. Decide whether to eat, charge a toll or spare each traveler; your choices shape your balance between greed and mercy and whether you survive another night beneath the stones.

Travelers and factions

A steady flow of nobles, soldiers, merchants and stranger creatures crosses your bridge. Hear their pleas, threats or insults before deciding their fate. Some can feed you, others can fill your purse, and a few can become Trinkets that you offer to other factions in exchange for favor.

Hunger and favor

Food, greed and favor are often at odds. Each meal or act of mercy shifts your standing with the world above. You can play cautiously and risk starvation, or indulge your hunger and risk provoking wrath. Survive by mastering restraint or embracing your appetite.

Endings and legacy

Outlast all four seasons to reach one of several fates. You can become a Predator, feasting on those who wander too close, or a Guardian, honored and protected by those you once extorted. If you fail to balance your vices, you end as many trolls have before: bones beneath the stones.

The fractured realm

The setting draws on dark folklore, with starving villages, cursed forests and ancient grudges. Pixel art and dry humor give its grim fairy-tale world a bleak tone, where monsters are hungry and mercy is scarce.
