Gloom Delve

GLOOMDELVE

"Oh, you died? On floor THREE? Marvelous. The Prize remains unclaimed, and my faith in you remains theoretical."
- the Mad Wizard

A mad wizard has built (or conjured, he's hazy on the details) a 100-floor dungeon and flung it open to anyone foolish enough to enter. He narrates your descent personally: gleeful, petty, easily distracted, taunting your deaths and editorializing on your loot. At the very bottom waits the Prize, something enormous and probably cursed that he swears is "absolutely worth it."

GloomDelve is a real-time roguelite dungeon crawler where every wall, hero, and horror is built from pure procedural geometry. No two runs alike, and the whole thing runs on a toaster.

Descend forever

• 100 procedurally-generated floors, each a fresh tangle of rooms, traps, fountains, locked chests, secret rooms, and shops, themed and re-skinned as you go deeper.
  
• Seed-deterministic worlds: share a seed and run the exact same dungeon with friends.
  
• A living bestiary of brutes, oozes, floaters and constructs, each with absurd names, status-effect attacks, and smarter pathfinding the deeper you fall.
  
• Boss floors seal the stairs until the horror falls. Shove open the Great Door into a sealed arena with its own entrance cinematic, its own metal cue, and a hand-built mechanic per boss; every boss guards two signature relics. The Mad Wizard himself waits at floor 100, with two very different endings (one of them is a secret).

Draft a broken build

On entry, at the wizard caches he leaves lying around every few floors, and after every boss, the Mad Wizard offers you a choice of power cards. Dozens of distinct effects across four rarities, and no limit on how many you can hold: stack them, combine them, and turn a humble delver into a walking catastrophe. Exploding corpses, lifesteal, crit cascades, bomb-drops, see-in-the-dark, go-fast-on-kill... interesting alone, game-breaking together.

Build your delver

• 9 classes: Warrior, Sorcerer, Rogue, Ranger, Cleric, Battlemage, Necromancer, and the hybrid Paladin and Spellblade, each with a signature ability (Whirlwind, Cataclysm, Vanish, Arrow Storm and more), several earned by reading the story you dig up.
  
• 8 races: Human, Halfling, Dwarf, Elf, Orc, Ratkin, and the feline Mogg and snowy frost-hound Yukin, each with its own look, colour options, and stat identity.
  
• Real combat: melee swings with per-weapon arcs, aimed bows and spells, dual-wielding, shields and blocking, a full spellbook with per-spell cooldowns, and weapons that bleed, poison, and burn. The deeper you dig, the nastier the loot.
  
• Loot that matters: weapons, armour, scrolls, tomes and potions with rolled rarity, plus shops, chests, and cursed fountains.

Solo or together

Play solo, team up in server-authoritative online co-op with built-in proximity voice chat so the screaming is positional (heal your friends, buff the party, and split the loot, or don't), or grab a second controller for local split-screen couch co-op: two delvers, one screen, one shared dungeon. Play it your way on keyboard, gamepad, or touch. Every action works on all three.

A story in the margins

The wizard won't tell you what the Prize really is. But the dungeon is littered with lore pages, a tragedy told in fragments, journals, and a confession or two, that quietly assemble into the truth if you bother to read them. Every page you recover permanently unlocks something new for your account: a class, a race, a harder difficulty, a colour scheme. Finding all 30 hands you a prize coat. Lost survivors turn up between floors with quests of their own: fetch a keepsake, spare a potion, hunt a marked beast, pay a toll. Help them, and they'll hand you a strong item, a full heal, a fat purse, or a page of the story.

Pick your poison

Five difficulty tiers (Whimsey, Mischief, Malice, Wrath, and Madness) scale the bestiary, the loot, and the Mad Wizard's mood from "beginner-friendly" to "he is openly laughing at you."
