Heart of the Dungeon (Alpha)

This 2.5D hack-and-slash adventure game features a cast of delightfully weird monsters with full voice acting. Gobkin, a small cat-like Goblin who was cast out from his tribe for being too cute and friendly, finds himself in a dungeon with other rejected monsters. Osseus, the noble skeleton who is missing most of their bones, and Rotta, a fierce but adorably fluffy dungeon rat, will follow Gobkin as they attempt to unite the denizens of this outcast dungeon to fight off a troupe of “heroic” adventurers. 

Counter the dungeon invaders with the aid of your companions and convince your would-be allies to join you. Though it won’t be easy; You may need to deal with threats from within before you can face those from outside…

THE DEETS:

This game was initially  made for the Seattle Indies Slow Jam 2022, our team vibed and we loved the concept enough to want to continue it! This is still a work in progress so and there's no end to the demo, so please enjoy and play as much as you want!

All visual assets, voice acting, and music were created in-house for this jam. Sound effects partly sourced from SFX libraries and partly created and edited in-house. Developed using Unity, Yarn Spinner, Photoshop, Reaper, and FMOD. Base 3D assets from the Unity Asset Store.
