The Cursed Crypt

The Cursed Crypt is a minimalist solo roguelike RPG about exploration, combat, and survival.

You are a mercenary driven by gold. The Guild has hired you to retrieve a powerful magical artifact held by the Crimson Dancer, an assassin who wields blood magic.

You don't know what awaits you inside the crypt.

The dungeon is cursed, its halls overrun by monsters, necromancers, and the undead. Fight your way through 30 rooms across three floors, grow stronger, discover powerful treasures, and claim the artifact.

HOW TO PLAY

All you need is:

• A standard 52-card deck
• One d6
• A Character Sheet
• A pencil

The cards generate the rooms, enemies, treasures, and events of your expedition, while the d6 determines room types and enemy attacks.

Combat revolves around three attack types — Strong, Fast, and Technical — creating a simple tactical system where choosing the right attack can turn the fight in your favor.

Explore multiple paths, manage your health and gold, find and upgrade treasures, and develop your mercenary as you descend deeper into the crypt.

Will you survive the Cursed Crypt?
