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.

抗菌薬クロニクルは、抗菌薬の「適正使用(Antimicrobial Stewardship)」を遊びながら学べる教育RPGです。感染症をモンスターに、抗菌薬を武器に見立て、培養・グラム染色で"看破"→正体を見極め→効く狭域薬へ切り替える(de-escalation)という、実臨床の考え方をそのままゲーム化しました。 ■ こんな"あるある"が体験できる ・広域抗菌薬を引っ張りすぎると耐性の壁に当たり、善玉菌(常在菌)まで巻き添えに ・「効くはずの薬」が耐性(ESBL/AmpC/MRSA/CRE)で外れる逆転 ・髄膜炎は髄液に届く薬でないと効かない(BBB)、腸球菌は併用のシナジー、結核は多剤併用、緑膿は単剤連用で耐性化… ・重症例では、菌を叩くだけでなく発熱・脱水など全身状態を支えないと患者を救えない ・PK/PD(時間依存/濃度依存)を意識した投与法 ■ 遊び方 各"国(臓器)"を攻略し、周回で武器(抗菌薬)と基礎レベルを育成。まず看破、そして効く薬へ絞る——治療の"型"が、遊ぶうちに身につきます。 ■ 収録 肺・腸(無料)/皮膚・腎・心臓・脳・血流・療養(結核)・乱用の谷(買い切りで全編解放)。 ■ 対象 看護・医療系の学生や医療者、そして「抗菌薬ってどう選ぶの?」に興味がある方。専門知識がなくても、遊べば"型"がわかります。 ※本アプリは学習用のゲームです。実在の患者への診断・治療の判断に用いるものではなく、医療機器・医療アドバイスではありません。登場する菌名・薬名はゲーム用に脚色しています(実薬のスペクトラムに沿わせた学習演出)。
