## What is Seolhwa Dungeon?

Old tales, turned into a dungeon.

A silver mine where goblin fire drifts. A royal tomb with its coffins already open.
A marsh that wets your ankles in fog. A fox den where one shadow too many follows you.
And the underworld, which opens only for those carrying two beads.

One turn decides everything. There is no undo, and death sends you back to the first floor.
In return the dungeon is redrawn every time, and you walk out with a different story.

- Folktales as rules: bow to a funeral procession or block its way, wrestle a dokkaebi,
  accept a meal from the snail maiden. Every choice has its price, and the gods are watching.
- Eight gods, eight taboos: favour comes with a rule attached, and breaking it brings wrath.
- 14 species and 12 classes, from bear-folk and serpents to shamans, geomancers and jesters.
- A card at every level: 32 to draw from, so no two runs of the same class grow alike.
- 134 yokai, each with the folktale it came from, recorded in the codex.
- One hand, portrait, fully offline. No account, no internet. 40 minutes to two hours per run.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-06

• Drag the map to walk in 8 directions (optional).
• Tap the big map to walk there. Like Explore, it stops for foes or new finds. Stairs show as ▼▲; your marker stands out.
• New effects for spells, god powers, yokai attacks, traps and items. Heavy blows crack the ground; dodged ones leave dust.
• The bag is now an icon grid with sorting.
• Auto-fight marks its target in gold.
• Tap an adjacent found trap to step on it.
• Foes face you.
• Bosses are tougher. Main and branch dungeon bosses have more HP and attack, and main bosses now change form at half HP.
• The Imugi grows faster and becomes a dragon mid-fight.
• Serving a god has changed. Trance costs 10 faith, Possession 50. Trance no longer uses Energy and has no per-floor limit.
• Anyone can pray once per floor. Only shamans hold rites.
• Jowang, the Dokkaebi Chief and Mago Halmi now grant Trance, and each god's wishes and blessings were adjusted. Sanshin's tiger returns each floor, and Possession makes the Mountain Lord your ally.
• Named foes and branch dungeon bosses regain a little HP each turn.
• Auto-fight is slower, so you can follow it turn by turn. Auto-explore is unchanged.
• Fixed the Bewitched Hunter shooting rocks, Jihaguk Daejeok becoming unkillable, a level-up card lost on Continue, and more.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-05

Key moments now have their own scenes.

Uturi of Mt. Jiri rises from under a rock and sprouts wings at half HP. Winged, it dives in, strikes once and pulls back behind its millet soldiers. When it falls, the soldiers crumble and its dragon-horse flies off.

Defeating Jigwi puts out the tower's fire and heat.
The Dragon Palace rabbit and the Rat Den cat run off when freed.
New short scenes for the Gumiho's unmasking, taking a god, and branch gates.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-04
