About

Use the moonlight spell to trade places with objects and escape from the mysterious nightmare in this short puzzle adventure!

ProtoDungeon: Episode I is a short, top-down exploration adventure game set in a mysterious abandoned castle. Explore, solve puzzles, and find your way out!

You appear in front of a castle, trapped in an unknown realm. Make your way through the castle in front of you to the familiar chapel, which you shudder at even though you can't remember why. Seek the fragments of the chapel seal to unlock it and escape. Use the swapping ability of the moonlight spell to solve puzzles and explore every nook and cranny of the castle.

ProtoDungeon takes familiar retro inspiration from Game Boy games, but also from old point-and-click adventures in its philosophy of design. Look around, explore, even take notes!
