A dungeon-exploration roguelike RPG. Advance by deducing hidden events within a 5×5 grid. Featuring turn-based battles where a single wrong choice means death. To survive the tower, you need luck and willpower. The path ahead is unseen—but you must move forward. Unless you choose to accept death. Game Systems Exploration Explore the tower while aiming for the top floor. Each 5×5 grid hides various events, requiring deduction and careful choices. This is a classic turn-based RPG with roguelike rules—death means losing everything. Classes Over 40 classes are available. Each time you enter the dungeon, you can choose a new class. Every class has unique growth paths and skills—fail to adapt, and death awaits. Dungeon Exploration Navigate a 5×5 grid dungeon where enemies, treasure, and events are randomly placed. Tap panels to reveal them and find the stairs to advance to the next floor. If your Sanity reaches zero, you descend into madness—and death follows. Combat Turn-based battles offer five actions: Attack, Skill, Defend, Talk, and Escape. Each class has exclusive skills, but poor use will quickly lead to death. Equipment Various weapons and items can be found throughout the dungeon. Weapons can also be purchased—but without gold, survival is impossible. Events Numerous events await you. Fail to judge the situation correctly, and death is inevitable.
