Wizardry Variants: Daphne

Wizardry Variants: Daphne is a role-playing game in the Wizardry series, centered on organizing a party, exploring labyrinths, fighting monsters and developing characters. You venture into a dangerous dungeon with allies whose combinations of classes and races shape your adventure, facing perilous traps and powerful foes.

The Abyss

Once every 100 years, the Abyss opens and unleashes a curse of death across the continent. A Warlock who coveted Death devoured people and animals, plunging the world into despair. Kings inherited the power to seal the Abyss and protected the kingdom from its curse, but now the king has vanished and death is consuming the world. Resistance seems meaningless, and there appears to be nothing left but to perish.

Your party and the labyrinth

You adventure with distinctive allies formed from combinations of classes and races. In the dungeon, you face traps and mighty enemies at a high level of difficulty.
