[Every barcode around you becomes your adventure] Scan QR codes or product barcodes — characters and gear are generated deterministically. Same code, same hero. Always. ■ Core Loop · QR code → Companion (character) · Product barcode → Gear (weapon or armor) · Bring up to 3 companions on dungeon expeditions (progress even when the app is closed) · Auto-battle earns Gold and EXP ■ Gacha & Limit Break (latest update) · Mythic Gacha: spend Gold to pull T7–T10 legendary gear from world mythology · Limit Break: re-scan the same barcode daily → spend Gold to raise star level (no cap) · Full Scan Set (barcode weapon + armor): Attack +15% · Full Mythic Set (gacha weapon + armor): Gold earned +20% ■ Determinism & Permanence "Same barcode = same hero, forever." Even if the app is gone, your barcode brings back the same companion. Like a charm. ■ Deep Systems · Prestige & Seals: reincarnate when your hero reaches the required level (scales up with each prestige) for permanent bonuses + stackable seals (Attack / Gold / Soul) · Collection Multiplier: more gear and monsters discovered = stronger party · ~3,000 monster species codex · T1–T10 gear (history of technology → world mythology) · Five Elements, race bonuses, prefix hack & slash ■ Three Principles (never change) ① Fully offline, zero servers ② Deterministic generation (same code = same result, always) ③ Zero ads [Pro] · Team 2 (two simultaneous expeditions) · Companion renaming · Camera scan for T10 gear QR Code is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED.

〜 What's New in v1.3.1 〜 ・The bulk-buy buttons (+100/+1,000/MAX) in the Reincarnation shop now show the actual Reincarnation Points cost required. ----- No tapping required — your hero fights, levels up, and gathers gear all on their own. Grindcrawl is an idle hack & slash RPG told through retro JRPG-style text scenes. ■ Hands-Off, Automatic Battles No tapping needed. Your hero automatically fights enemies, earning EXP and gear. Your adventure keeps progressing even while the app is closed — come back anytime to collect what you've earned. ■ Dive Deeper Into an Endless Dungeon The deeper you go, the tougher the enemies and the better the gear get. See for yourself how far you can descend. ■ Collect Gear, Grow Stronger Gear drops in three rarities — Normal, Rare, and Epic. Mix and match Attack, Defense, and Luck to build your own strategy. ■ Equip Set Bonuses for an Extra Edge Equip two or more Rare or Epic pieces found in the same floor band to gain an all-stat multiplier bonus. Hunt for matching sets to power up further. ■ Earn Rewards With Monster Medals Defeat monsters to earn medals for each species. Raise them from Bronze to Platinum to boost the drop rate for Rare and Epic gear. ■ Build Your Collection in the Museum Donate gear to the Equipment Museum to fill out your collection by species. Complete a Species Set — every weapon, armor, and accessory, Rare and Epic, for one species — to earn a major bonus. ■ Reincarnate for Greater Heights The deeper you go, the more Reincarnation Points you earn. Spend them on permanent stat boosts and inventory expansion to get further next run. ■ Coming Soon Cloud save and more quality-of-life improvements are on the way. A few minutes here and there is all it takes. Check in, see your progress, close the app — that's Grindcrawl.
