The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles
Demo: out now!
Planned Release Date: Q2 2025

Plunge into the heart of adventure with our 2D dungeon crawler featuring roguelite elements and get catapulted into a series of mind-bending labyrinths with a top-down perspective. All this is rendered in glorious pixel-art and adorned with a turn-based combat system infused with electrifying arcade nuances, where each weapon serves as a unique extension of your character.
Another hallmark of this adventure is its randomly generated level design. Every zone of the Hyper-Dungeon is a unique universe, different from any other gameplay session. The layout of the rooms, the shape of the corridors, and the placement of monsters, traps, and treasures are reinvented every time, providing players with an ever-changing challenge.
Navigating these subterranean levels will be anything but a walk in the park: you'll need tactics, quick reflexes, and keen observation to overcome lethal traps and a wide variety of enemies. The full version of the game offers a total of 50 meticulously designed levels, paying special attention to gameplay mechanics, plot, and dialogue. The gameplay offers a broad spectrum of experiences that continually alternate: from last-stand battles to tactical reasoning, and from puzzles that require intuition and wit.
Each level is a microcosm unto itself, with different biomes, varying levels of brightness, and changing dimensions. Think you can dodge some challenges? Think again... what invaluable treasures will you miss by taking the easier path? But it doesn't end here: classic mechanics of the genre—such as character development, leveling up, and collecting rare items—are enriched by an intuitive yet effective crafting system.
Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to customize your fighting technique with three different styles, each with unique unlockable abilities. Monsters in the game are numerous and exhibit different behaviors, making encounters compelling without being excessively difficult or frustrating: we firmly believe that a video game should above all be fun.
But don't be fooled by the seriousness of the challenge: the entire adventure is imbued with eccentric humor and sharp dialogue, rich in pop culture, nerd/geek references, and nods to classic video game lore, which, we hope, will capture the heart of every gamer!

The Demo is unplayable for me. Starting the game, shows a grey screen that just hangs permanently. No error. No crash. Even the Steam version does it. (Running it on Win10)
Hi RogueDeus,
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the demo. It's indeed strange as the game is designed to be quite accommodating, even running smoothly on older hardware like a 10-year-old laptop I use for testing. Here are some common causes that might be behind this problem:
If none of these solutions work, could you please provide more details about your system specs? It might help us diagnose the issue more accurately.
And also, can you try it on another PC?
Let me know,
Paolo
Thanks for the reply. I was hoping this was a known issue, and that you'd simply state that the next patch was addressing it, because my system is only a few years old and is rather high end. (3900X, 4070 TI, 64G Ram, 4 TB NVME) I'm also really tech savvy when it comes to PC's.
Honestly, I've never had any issues running anything, except this demo... It's rather... odd. Took me by surprise. Hence the above.
I did join your discord with this handle, so if you'd like to have a real time conversation, please let me know there. I'll check it as often as I can till I hear back, either way.
Figured out the issue...
Whatever you implemented for the move to Win 10 only, requires the latest 22H2 Build.
I had no reason to upgrade from 21H1, until tonight. On a whim, I tried running your Demo and bingo.
It runs now.
For what it's worth. ;)
