About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
Day forty-one. The door is open. The valley still expects a body.
The Escape from Dungeon Keep - Expanded Edition is a classic text adventure of typed commands, turn-based fights, and a keep that was never only a prison.
You wake in a cell beneath Dungeon Keep. The guards are gone. Forty-one tally marks score the wall - and you know what that number really means. Escape the dungeon, walk the wilds of Thornwick, and decide what the mountain under the rock has been fed for a hundred years.
What you do
- Type your way out - look, go, take, examine, talk, fight. A living adventure log with typewriter text, and shortcuts when you already know the next move.
- Explore a full campaign - the keep, the valley, and the caves under the mountain, with side quests, readable lore, and a map that fills in as you travel.
- Fight turn by turn - attack, guard, focus, heavy strikes, potions, and loot that feeds weapon upgrades at the forge.
- Meet the valley - innkeepers, merchants, hermits, and a blacksmith who will sharpen more than your blade if you bring the right materials.
- Choose how the story ends - more than one summit ending, then New Game+ beyond the mountain into distant lands, contract paths, and a harder secret finish for those who dig.
Expanded Edition
- New Game+ and a second continent of rooms, bosses, and endings
- Dozens of achievements (including hidden ones)
- Chronicle / lore fragments for players who examine everything
- Difficulty options, high-contrast mode, large text, and volume control
- Local Workshop / JSON mod support - addon content and standalone maps
- Save slots that keep your run (and your display preferences)
For fans of
Parser adventures, short story-driven RPGs, and games that reward reading the room - literally.
The keep has kept its arithmetic for a century.
On day forty-one, someone finally leaves a different answer.
