About This Book Is A Dungeon
Navigate a nightmarish Twine-based dungeon crawling with cosmic horror, gruesome puzzles, and dozens of ways to meet a grisly end as you chase multiple endings through an interconnected narrative labyrinth. Blending interactive fiction with pixel art aesthetics and light RPG mechanics, this is an unapologetically dark experience designed to reward bold experimentation and repeated playthroughs that reveal new paths and twisted secrets.
WARNING: THIS GAME WILL KILL YOU. OFTEN.
Part of the intended challenge is in experimenting to see where different paths and choices lead you. It's impossible to experience all of the content in a single runthrough. Experiment, be bold, and uncover your fate, wherever it may lead!
Features:
- Experience a grim story-driven horror adventure
- Solve cryptic and disturbing puzzles
- Die in dozens of horrible ways
- Enjoy light RPG elements, including combat and inventory
- Discover multiple endings
- BONUS: 40,000 word game dev diary
This game is not for the squeamish or faint of heart.
BONUS GAME DEV DIARY EBOOK
This Book Is A Dungeon was originally created as an interactive fiction and self-publishing experiment. It was initially launched as a game inside a Kindle book that served as a developer diary documenting the entire process for creating the game from start to finish. As part of the Steam Edition, you can access a free download link for a PDF version of the dev diary within the main menu.

The game turns into a trial-and-error clickathon that forces you to keep repeating the same actions dozens of times to get back to the point where you get to guess which option to choose next to proceed. Would be ok as a free game, as this is clearly someone's first attempt at making a game.
tbh loving it so far — easy to get into, great buy.
I like it.
This game was very cool. I like text-based adventures, it wasn't too long. Also, there were some very cool looking monsters.
