A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

A vile dragon has just taken over Crowrook Castle, plunging all of Numland into its reign of terror. But a young hero (that's you!!!) rises from their bed to save the day! Explore the land, talk to people, and defeat monsters to level up! Get the highest number, overthrow the lizard tyrant and become the strongest in all of Numland!!!!

On your adventure, please remember the following:

  1. Use WASD or Arrow Keys to move.
  2. Walk into people, signs, monsters, etc. to talk to them.
  3. Somethings have multiple lines of dialog, indicated by a little ... animation in the bottom right corner. Read them all!
  4. If you walk into a monster with a lower level than yours, you'll kill it and gain a level.
  5. If you're stuck, explore around to find new people, monsters, and areas you haven't seen yet.
  6. If you're REALLY stuck, check out areas you've already been to. You may have missed something!

This game does NOT save your progress. If you close the window, you'll lose all your progress sorry.

Game length: Main adventure is expected to take 30 minutes, the postgame will extend that to ~1 hour. Please note that the postgame is completely optional!!! Only play it if you want to see how far the rabbit hole goes. (Don't worry, you'll know when you reach the postgame)
