1. 　Ever-changing Living Dungeons; the thrill that everything changes in real time

The ‘Living Dungeons’ is amorphous and reacts to the movement of the mist, creating or dropping passages one after another in front of the player’s eyes. Terrain, scaffolding, monsters, traps, everything in the dungeon suddenly changes in real time. Players confront the ‘Living Dungeons’ by making full use of their own strongest skill build. Also, due to the strange power of the ‘Living Dungeons’, Player’s level resets every time you enter it.

For example, passages and rooms are dynamically generated when approached, bridges that fall once crossed, moving floors, scaffolding suddenly rise (or disappear), etc. The familiar ‘Monster House’ in many roguelikes will also appear. However, this game’s monster house approaches the player; the empty floor suddenly becomes a ‘Monster House’, and attacks the player in combination with the gimmick of ‘Living Dungeons’.

2.　A battle where strategy and action coexist

In this game, you can use items and change equipment even during battle. You can carefully choose items such as equipment and spell books that match the situation.

You can also use spell books to wipe out enemies, knock back enemies, and use special skills and labyrinth stones to create and erase scaffolding blocks.

3. 　Find your own strongest build!

There are four types of Mist equipment: Weapons, Shields, Bracelets, and Rings.
Of these, Weapons, Shields, and Bracelets have unique skills attached to it. When you combine them effectively, the skill synergy will jump several times. Skill synergy allows you to seek for your strongest build according to the situation, such as specializing in attack, defense, or recovery.

Rings do not come with any skills, but it increases certain stats. The effect of the ring is random, so searching for the best rings will further strengthen your build.

4.　High Replay Value

Your level and other stats are reset when you get out of the dungeons. Still, you can bring back money and items (weapons, shields, bracelets, medicine, spellbooks, reinforcement materials, etc.) obtained from enemies and bosses along the way. You can replay the game over time; strengthening your character with strong items, challenging even more difficult dungeons and acquiring even more powerful loot.

Synopsis

The Maze has come to life…
The stage of this game is a labyrinth left behind by a kingdom that is said to have reached its peak of prosperity a long time ago. When this kingdom was on the brink of extinction, they narrowly succeeded in confining the disaster in the labyrinth. However, due to the ‘sealing magic’ placed on it – a forbidden magic that constantly changes its shape, it is filled with life and has its own will. Eventually, the entire country was swallowed up by the dungeon, and the kingdom disappeared overnight.

A long time has passed since then. Mist, who lives in Lootgar, a town where treasure hunters gather, sets out to explore ‘Living Dungeons’ in search of the whereabouts of his missing father.
