-- The final version submitted for the Jam, is missing some features (including saves) and is somewhat unpolished and not beatable- if you are not rating or judging the game for the Jam, we recommend waiting until a new build is available.  --

Kumo's Dungeon is an immersive dungeon-crawler inspired by retro classics like King’s Field, modern adaptations like Lunacid, and The Legend of Zelda series. 

You are a prisoner, newly cast into the dungeon’s shadowy depths. Armed with only a rusted blade, you must brave the darkness (and its denizens) and forge a path to freedom.

But somewhere, deep below the surface, a voice beckons you. Seek it out, and perhaps you will be granted the power to conquer the Dungeon itself. 

( Kumo's Dungeon was developed within the span of approx. 10 days for Bigmode Game Jam 2025 and was designed around the theme of ‘Power’. )

KNOWN BUGS
------------------------------------------------------------

- Camera sensitivity defaults to 0. Change it in options either in Main Menu or by pausing!

- You can softlock by falling into a pit or dying, so don't do that. You can press "=" key to restart the game and reset progress to escape this.

- The room after getting the sword upgrade fails to load. We uh, weren't able to do a full playtest in before submitting and we thought we fixed this bug.

How does your game represent "Power"?
------------------------------------------------------------

Kumo's Dungeon revolves around how a player experiences power (or the lack thereof). The player may feel small and vulnerable at first, but in time, they harness incredible power that can trivialize anything in their path.
