Dream Draw Dungeons

Dream Draw Dungeons is a single-player, top-down action RPG presented in pixel art styled after a child’s imagination. The story follows a boy who draws a strange dream and so creates a world, with the player taking the role of the drawing. The game is played offline and supports keyboard, mouse and gamepad.

The world is divided into seven realms: The Forest, The Mire, The Sunscar, The Dead City, The Frostbitten Wastes, The Ashblown Depths and The Blighted Canopy. Each has its own environments, wildlife, ruins and weather. Every realm contains seven dungeon entrances, giving 49 hand-built dungeon interiors in total. A guardian in each dungeon holds part of a gate key, and collecting all seven parts opens the eastern gate to that region’s boss. Bosses and mini-bosses each use a distinct mechanic. Examples include the Fallen King, who enrages when his shield breaks, the Ashen Queen, who throws her sword and creates molten pools, and the Frost Golem, who freezes the player on a timer that can be countered by warming up at four torches.

Character progression uses 21 skills split across three trees: Warrior, Rogue and Holy. Skills have ranks, and players cannot master every skill. Weapons and armour sets can be found and equipped in dedicated gear slots. Each realm hides an unmarked quest that unlocks a unique reward. After the game is finished, New Game+ restarts it at a higher difficulty, with quest chains returning, skill mastery ranks unlocking, and enemies and rewards scaling with each cycle. Other features include a fog-of-war world map that fills in as the player explores, and the option to switch at any time between a 2D sprite mode and a Semi-3D camera.
