About

Auto-cannibalism. Demonic Seduction. Occult Rituals. Bloodfeasting Worms. This Book Is A Dungeon has it all and more. This dark, horrific Twine-based dungeon crawler pairs edgy interactive fiction with grisly pixel art and light RPG elements. Prepare to be disturbed, titillated, and savaged by unholy denizens aplenty in your quest to navigate this sprawling narrative-driven labyrinth bristling with otherworldly doom.WARNING: THIS GAME WILL KILL YOU. OFTEN.
Part of the intended challenge is in experimenting to see where different paths and choices lead you. It's impossible to experience all of the content in a single runthrough. Experiment, be bold, and uncover your fate, wherever it may lead!

Features:
  • Experience a grim story-driven horror adventure
  • Solve cryptic and disturbing puzzles
  • Die in dozens of horrible ways
  • Enjoy light RPG elements, including combat and inventory
  • Discover multiple endings
  • BONUS: 40,000 word game dev diary

This game is not for the squeamish or faint of heart.

This Book Is A Dungeon reviews and comments

An interactive story with Twine that I've liked a lot. An exploration of dungeons with a fight (or two) and several ways to die. However, as it was designed with Twine, there's no possibility to change the background color or text size, there's no background music, and there's no saving. Recommended on sale, because it ends quickly. There are now Steam cards.
