- Game Concept: Map System — Rooms - 31 December 2025
Hi everyone!As you make your way through the maze-like corridors, taking brief rests in area tiles that resemble them, you will eventually arrive at one of the most important cores of the entire map — Rooms.In the current version of the game, there are a total of 17 different room types. These rooms are distributed in a semi-random manner across each 10-floor interval. When players first uncover a room tile while clearing the fog of war, its interior remains completely dark. At this stage, the only information available is the room’s name, shown in the text displayed when hovering the cursor over the tile.Each room has a chance to be locked when it is generated. To enter a locked room, players must use a keycard of the corresponding level. Keycards are divided into five tiers: D (Black), C (Blue), B (Green), A (Yellow), and S (Red). Each room tier requires a matching keycard level to un…

- Game Concept: Map System — Areas - 18 December 2025
Hi everyone!After introducing the Road system in our previous update, this time we’d like to present another important map type that stands alongside roads — Areas.Areas are map tiles that occupy a single grid space but have a larger visual footprint than roads. They are interwoven between road tiles and may appear as players gradually uncover the fog of war. In the current design, Areas share the same directional layouts as roads, with five possible variants, and the number of Areas on each floor is fixed.The concept of Areas actually emerged relatively late in the map design process. You can think of them as rest zones or communal spaces, created to allow players to perform certain actions that are frequently needed but not available at all times — such as resting.In the game, resting is one of the primary ways to recover the party’s stamina. While some food items can also restore sta…
