About the Game
Dungeon Outcast is a free-to-play browser-based dungeon crawler game inspired by Tango Tek's "Decked Out 2" minigame from Hermitcraft Season 9. Navigate through dark, treacherous dungeons, avoid deadly monsters, collect valuable artifacts, and escape before your haze meter attracts too many enemies!
This 2D adaptation brings the thrilling stealth-action gameplay to your browser with no downloads required.
