Neverlooted Dungeon
Neverlooted Dungeon (TBD, Wild Mage Games) is an upcoming Dungeon Crawler with an emphasis on treacherous deadly traps, with a strong Immersive Sim design philosophy.
Venture into the depths of a mysterious dungeon full of treacherous traps, and find your own way to overcome its dangers. Will you be the first to loot the Neverlooted Dungeon?
The public Steam demo
released during the Steam Game Festival Autumn 2020 showed great promises of open-ended problem solving and physics-based interactivity.
Neverlooted Dungeon contains examples of the following tropes:
- Crate Expectations: Wooden crates are ubiquitous in the demo and can be manipulated both by hand and with the Gravity and E-Z Lift wands.
- Immersive Sim: The demo shows that the game is clearly designed with an Immersive Sim philosophy, with open-ended problem solving and high interactivity. The player is encouraged to create its own solution to overcome the dangers. Traps and interactions are physics-based, you can trigger, block, break, and avoid traps of various ways.
- Pressure Plate: Many of the traps are activated by these.
- Quick Melee: The PC can deliver a kick with the "F" key, good for putting some distance between you and an enemy or knocking barriers out of the way.
- Rodents of Unusual Size: Giant rats are the primary enemies in the demo.
- Spikes of Doom: A near-constant threat, whether they're coming to you by extending from the floor or falling from the ceiling, or you're coming to them after falling through a trap door.
