Content notice: DEORUM contains a limited level of gore imagery, such as body parts (hearts, eyeballs), fleshy things, skulls, and fluids. Enemy designs may feature elements like mutations, deformities, and injuries. Gameplay involves interactions with gore elements, such as holding gore-related items with the cursor. Combat is presented in a non-direct, UI focused, turn-based way without a clear sense of violence. It involves bladed weapons. There are also vaguely religious undertones present in the story. Everything is presented in a 2D pixel art style without a clear sense of realism.

About this game
DEORUM is a dungeon crawler set in a world where dark fantasy and cosmic horror collide just in time for the grand Divine Festival.
Follow the guidance of your mysterious watcher and delve deep into the forsaken labyrinth below. There, fight against deformed horrors and gather even more nightmarish materials. Your task is to craft coins of otherworldly nature. Only in this way will you be able to settle your debt to the eldritch powers at play.
On this journey, you will learn forbidden knowledge and gain dark power, but will you have the courage to live up to the task? Will you forge your destiny and claim what's yours?
