Pit of Despair

What is this?

Pit of Despair (PoD for short) is a tribute to those old school games where you need to think and calculate carefully before you move. Our purpose was to create a similar experience adding some roguelite elements to make it more accessible for new players. You can download the free demo or play it via the browser. The full game is expected to be released during the first quarter of 2024.
