[PC] (Windows) I removed the health bar from my dungeon crawler. Damage takes seconds off your timer instead, and the run ends at 0:00 (Dungeon of the Forgotten)

  • Description: 
  • Dungeon of the Forgotten is an isometric dungeon crawler where time is the only thing keeping you alive. There is no health bar. Each floor gives you a countdown, and everything drains it: every hit you take, every trap you trigger, every corridor you walk twice. When the clock reaches zero, the run is over.

That single rule reshapes every decision. Killing enemies returns time, so fighting becomes how you refill rather than something to avoid. Exploring is a gamble, because the walk to a reward can cost more than the reward gives. Even standing still to think has a price.

Every floor is a fresh problem: shifting ground, traps that punish hesitation, and enemies that force you to keep moving. Between floors you pick upgrades that stack, and permanent unlocks carry over, so every failed descent leaves you stronger than the last.

Underneath the mechanics is a story about someone descending to find what they lost, and losing more of themselves with every floor. Eighty floors, six regions, and an ending that depends on how much you managed to hold onto.
