Tonicton is a small town with five holes in the ground near it. Each one goes down two floors, and something at the bottom is holding the stairs.
You walk down, you kill things, and you come back up carrying more than you left with. Then you sell it, or you wear it, or you hand it to Lady Fortuna and let her decide. Every piece of gear is rolled rather than placed — a base type, a few affixes, and the strongest one gives the thing its name. That is where Boots of Dousing and Ring of Avarice come from. Nobody wrote those. The game made them on the way up.
Eleven legendaries exist. They do not make your numbers bigger; they change what you are allowed to do. Crits that heal you. A guard that blocks twice. A coin that cannot land badly.
Beat the Spirekeeper at the bottom of the Shattered Spire and the Watch opens behind it. That is the endgame, and it is free on the web.
Five depths, twenty species
Each depth has three wild species and a master that holds the stairs down. Everything has a weakness, and finding it is most of every fight.
Open the compendium — every monster, every legendary, every affix, drawn by the game's own code.
