Purgatory Dungeoneer

Purgatory Dungeoneer is a roguelite RPG about recruiting retired adventurers to plunder a psychic hellmaw in purgatory. You use the resources they bring back to build a supernatural medieval village and seek personal closure, while uncovering your companions’ buried memories. As mayor, you also decide how to keep a personal touch as the village grows.

Recruit and explore

A guild beside the hellmaw is home to former adventurers who entrust you with their souls and the fate of your city. You can recruit over 400 residents from a pool of more than 100 classes, then assemble complex adventuring parties. Each companion has a history, motivations and personal baggage that may be unknown to you, and you try to find what will help them stay intact.

Build your village

Adventurers gather resources from the hellmaw, which you use to improve the village and your citizens’ capabilities. Their skills cover damage, healing, status effects, auras and more, with over 1,000 skills in total.

Setbacks and recovery

The game focuses on assembling parties and dealing with the people in them, rather than pursuing a run where everything goes perfectly. Losing is only a minor setback, never the end, and the defeat of True Death is possible. The story also explores acknowledging, confronting and resolving personal trauma, in this world and the next. Travel time is not wasted, and anything you miss can be found later.
