Dwarf the Dungeonist

Dwarf the Dungeonist is a 2D, turn-based dungeon crawler puzzle game in which you play as a dwarf. It uses icons and emojis to convey information and meaning, with no words. You solve puzzles, navigate traps and escape dangerous dungeons, where every move counts. Turns advance automatically if you wait too long, so you need to think and act quickly.

Maps and scenarios

The game has three types of maps:

• Short encounters: 78 handmade maps focused on strategy and different mechanics to solve and test yourself against.
• Medium-long scenarios: four handmade maps where you explore and find a way to escape.
• Open world: a procedurally generated sandbox, available as a work-in-progress preview. You can settle in one place or explore.

Modding

The game is moddable, and most of its content is driven by simple text-based configuration files. You can create maps, objects and behaviors. A ready-to-use example mod, containing a small map and a new object with custom behavior, is available on the Steam Workshop.
