About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
Summoned to the Misty Mountains by Lord Gimli Lockbearer himself, you must answer the call and reclaim Moria, the legendary home beneath the mountain! You will need both your axe and your wit to survive, craft, build and explore the deep, sprawling mines. But beware, many dangers still lurk in the shadows…
Set in a procedurally generated Dwarven realm of Moria, no two adventures will be alike. Journey on your own or call upon your online companions to aid you!

KEY GAME FEATURES
