Steam Store description

Twitch extension for streaming Our official Twitch extension lets your viewers: Draw creatures and items to replace game art. Vote on item choices. Drawings are moderated by you or your Twitch mods. About the Game Delve into randomly generated ring dungeons where encounters come to you! Observe and plan your route. Will you go for the loot or backstab a creeping horror? As you scavenge, fight and sneak to new encounters, the ring reacts to your actions. Play as fast or slow as you like in this challenging, turn-based roguelike. Just be careful where you tread - You may find yourself ambushed, or worse... See the outcome of your choices so you can focus on decisions. Creatures broadcast their actions in a hostile environment, ready to erupt. Will you flee or find a way to use the dungeon against itself? Positioning is key to survival. You can be quickly overwhelmed... Observe the Ring and strategise. Learn, adapt, or face demise. Mimics offer you a choice for a price. Take what you can hold and build a combination of gear with passive powers. Maybe you’ll be quick and evasive, with an acid soaked blade. Or maybe you’ll be a brute force juggernaut, or a fireborn damage sink with an affinity for explosions. Buy your way to power or adapt with what you scavenge in these unforgiving depths. Deep in the Ring of Pain you will discover new paths into the unknown. Places with new friends, powerful loot, and cryptic rhyming lore. Find pleasant reprieve and howling terrors best left undisturbed. The brave may be rewarded for their risk... or crushed by their ambition. In darkness,…
