A downloadable game for Windows

A little dungeon crawler played right in the windows file explorer.

Drag and drop the player folder into other folders to move around the dungeon, items can be equipped by dropping them in your Equipment folder, or interacted with by deleting them.

Think of the files and folders in the explorer as the playing pieces, and the console window as the DM keeping track of everything.


Exploring!
Explore the dungeon by dragging and dropping your player onto a door to a new room, or just cutting and pasting them there.

Fighting!
Fight terrible dungeon dwellers with auto resolved combat.

Equipping!
Arm and armour yourself with the loot you find throughout the dungeon by dropping it into your Equipment folder.

Eating!
Enjoy a tasty cabbage to recover your strength by deleting its file.

Banish Evil!
Figure out how to rid the crypt of its evil presence.

Requires .Net 7 to be installed

Just unzip the folder and run "DirectoryDungeon.exe".
Windows might complain about the app being unrecognised, though the exe and dll are both signed. Just hit "More info" and then "Run".

I've finally killed the Lich... by removing the zombies from the room and reducing his health points ahah


Do you plan to add more content?

Thanks so much for playing!
Did you figure out what to do with the Lich's stone? :)

As for more content, not really. I'm getting started on something new and leaving this as pretty much finished.

This is a really neat idea, I'm surprised how well it works

Running DirectoryDungeon.exe doesn't do anything

It's most likely you don't have .Net 7 installed.
If you open a terminal window and run the game directly from there you should see the error.

Thank you, I thought .Net 8 would be enough, but we really need .Net 7!
