ProtoDungeon: Episode I

ProtoDungeon: Episode I is a short, top-down exploration adventure set in a mysterious, abandoned castle. Trapped in an unknown realm, you must make your way through the castle to a familiar chapel. You cannot remember why the chapel makes you shudder, and need to find fragments of its seal to unlock it and escape.

Explore the castle

You use a moonlight spell that lets you swap places with objects to solve puzzles and explore the castle. The game draws on retro Game Boy games and old point-and-click adventures in its design. There is no map, compass or quest log, so you look around, explore and can take notes. The castle holds surreal secrets, and the game leaves open the question of what happened there.

Episode I

ProtoDungeon is a prequel mini-series to the upcoming game The Waking Cloak, with each episode offering a short adventure. Episode I takes most players an hour or two to complete.
