Below the Stone

Below the Stone is for players who like short, mean runs where every descent feels like a gamble. The game keeps the tension high: you head out for loot, and greed and fear quickly teach you to take less risk and pack more carefully. The highlights: - The first hours go into learning what to carry down and what to leave safe in your kingdom for the next run. - It works solo, and each death pushes you to rethink the plan for the next trip. - The blacksmith and other allies you bring into your home gradually change how runs go and unlock new gear. - There are over twenty-five biomes, and the deeper you go, the richer the rewards and the more dangerous each step becomes.

Below the Stone is a punishing pixel art roguelike about dwarves questing to reach the deepest depths. Each and every descent will lead to new adventures, where only the most determined players with many risked lives will be rewarded by the hidden world that lies below. Discover treasures worth dwarven death for. Within the stone below lies the adventure every dwarf worth their beard seeks, but there's always a price. Often death. Explore and pillage many cavern layers, and over 25+ planned biomes. Each level deeper lies more dangerous biomes, yet also greater rewards to mine and uncover. The Dwarven kingdom is your place for crafting, preparation, and storing loot for later expeditions. You have control over what resources you choose to keep at home safe and sound, and what equipment you dare wear with you on your next cave dive. The only catch is if you die, you will lose all the items you took down into the caves on your dwarf - such is the cost of progress! Additionally, your stay in the dwarven kingdom will yield an ever-growing cast of allies to aid you on your adventures below the surface. For example... A dwarf's best friend is someone who can turn shiny things into useful tools. The Blacksmith is the reliable friend to give you proper weaponry, armor, and equipment for your future descents. Newly found ores can be made into fresh new equipment to help you on your next trip into the depths, arming yourself for the dangerous realms below... Unique Characters may be encountered underground and are in need of rescue; these folk will be welcomed to your dwarven home as new companions to help you on your future descents. From elven witches who brew potions, to legendary dwarven crafters! We plan on the kingdom having at least 10 - 12 important mainline characters you will be able to save and bring back to help your future adventures. Each of them will add a unique flavor to the kingdom and your journeys downward as they give you better chances, modifiers, and even change your playstyle. Keeping goblins from scalping that beard of yours, make sure to do anything you can to increase your odds of coming back from your next descent! Brand new armor, weapons, and tools do make your missions easier. Be warned: if you die in Below The Stone, everything remains buried Below The Stone. Use your resources wisely, smart and experienced players may plan out their future runs well ahead of time, while more daring ones may take their best gear to risk going deeper! Features: - Procedurally generated cave complexes which lead to a new adventure in every descent. - Plans on releasing 25+ biomes to explore with unique creatures, fauna, and resources to explore. - Multiple dungeons on each layer to test your mettle. - Change your dwarf's loadout (Your equipment determines your stats and abilities). - A Dwarven Kingdom with many important characters to meet, save, and aid! - Custom Cave missions for every descent. - Roguelike experience - Safely store extra loot and resources at the Dwarven Kingdom. - An hour long+ soundtrack to immerse yourself into a fantasy spelunking experience. - Dwarves, blunderbusses, and fresh shiny things! - Digging holes (diggy diggy holes)!
