About this game
Welcome to the Dungeon is a 2D simulation game that combines puzzles and strategy RPG elements, inspired by board games. Players design dungeons creatively to optimize hero development, offering a unique problem-solving experience.
With retro-style pixel art graphics, Welcome to the Dungeon delivers a nostalgic vibe reminiscent of classic games, alongside the intense strategy and puzzle-solving elements of board games, creating a distinct sense of enjoyment.
Plan and observe how heroes navigate through the creative dungeons you build. Help them grow as much and as quickly as possible to achieve your goals.
Design a Hero's Dungeon Exploration
In the dungeon, heroes will progress non-stop—defeating monsters, looting treasure chests, receiving blessings, buying items, avoiding traps, activating levers, and drinking potions.
Players can set the frequency, order, and placement of these events simply by dragging and placing objects from their inventory.
Fill your dungeon using an intuitive, board game-like system, where designing is as easy as moving game pieces.
The Dilemma Between Growth and Placement
To help your hero grow, you need to set up battles with more enemies and stronger foes. However, the faster they grow, the higher the risk of failure.
Strategically place objects that allow the hero to recover between battles, avoid tough opponents, or take on weaker enemies first and save the strongest ones for critical moments.
Overcome dilemmas with creative solutions and successfully achieve your hero’s growth goals.
Changing Hero Appearance Based on Growth
What kind of hero your Lv.1 character becomes is entirely up to you.
With each level-up, their stats increase according to your distribution choices. Focus on defense or prioritize attack—it's your call.
The hero’s appearance will also change to reflect their growing stats.
Key Features
Over 30 dungeon maps to play
More than 10 types of objects, with over 100 combinable set objects
Unique retro-style graphics and animations
Simulation-based dungeon exploration for heroes

[Development Update] Current Progress and Our Next Milestone
“The dungeon is the cradle of heroes.” Hello, I’m baekbros, the developer of Welcome to the Dungeon. Since first showing the game at Burning Beaver, I am sharing a development update with the Steam community for the first time. Development is progressing smoothly. While preserving the core experience—placing monsters and dungeon objects to shape the hero’s route and growth—I am expanding the content and systems to support a longer, deeper game. I recently released online the early demo previously shown at offline events. For details about the web demo and the development plans ahead, please see the announcement below. https://steamcommunity.com/games/3276560/announcements/detail/697645818486719146 The next milestone is the Steam demo The next public milestone will be the Steam demo. I am preparing it with more content, deeper systems, and a higher level of polish than the current web demo. I will continue to share major development updates here. Thank you. baekbrosRead full article on Community Announcements (baekbros)AnnouncementsOfficial

Play the web demo now ▶ Play the web demo on itch.io Play directly in your browser—no installation required Approximately 30 minutes of gameplay Designed for mouse or trackpad Design a dungeon for the hero Welcome to the Dungeon is a grid-based strategy puzzle where you do not control the hero directly. Instead, you arrange monsters and dungeon objects, shape the hero’s route, and decide the order in which they encounter battles, recovery, and rewards. Fighting more—and stronger—enemies helps the hero grow faster, but also increases the risk that they fall before reaching the destination. Rearrange the dungeon, observe the results, and find a solution that allows the hero to survive, reach the ending, and grow according to your plan. About this web demo This is the approximately 30-minute demo previously shown at Burning Beaver, an indie game event held in Seoul. It lets you experience the core gameplay of Welcome to the Dungeon: placement puzzles, automatic exploration, and hero growth. The version currently in development is expanding these systems with more content and depth. The content, balance, and presentation of this demo may change during development. Build the dungeon.
