Turnveil — a first-person turn-based roguelike game

An atmospheric descent into ancient dungeons, turn-based tactical combat with a Souls-like spirit, and puzzle-like boss encounters where every victory feels earned.

🔱 Key Features

⚔️ First-Person Tactical Combat

• “One turn — one action”: no long menu chains, every choice matters.

🏰 Dungeon Exploration Inspired by Souls Games

• Branching locations with shortcuts, traps, secrets, and alternate routes.

• Lore unfolds through items, descriptions, and interactions with mysterious NPCs.

🧩 Puzzles That Shape the World and the Fights

Puzzles are built directly into the dungeon’s structure:

• change exploration routes;

• alter battle conditions for stronger enemies and bosses.

🗝 Equipment, Skills, and Progression

• Improve your stats, find gear, and collect rare artifacts.

• Learn new abilities or enhance existing ones to craft your own combat style.

🌀 Story: The Path to the Cursed Dagger

The hero ventures into ancient dungeons seeking an artifact —
a dagger that binds him with a curse.
When he tries to escape the depths, he is confronted by the Guardian and defeated.

He awakens far below in a hub location:
four corridors → four dungeon sectors → four keys.
Gather them all, unlock the central gate, and face the Guardian once more.
