Stray Fawn :
The Indie team at Stray Fawn Studio has announced their latest project: Dungeon Clawler! Fusing the joys of the claw machine with roguelike and deckbuilding mechanics, Dungeon Clawler is slated to launch on PC and Mac via Steam later this year.
If you want to get your claw on it sooner, a free demo will also be available to play in next week’s Steam Deckbuilder Fest. The demo runs to about 1 hour (+ replay value), with mystery locations, collectable charms, over 40 items to help you stack the deck in your favour!

About the game
Dungeon Clawler combines Roguelike Deckbuilder mechanics with a retro arcade classic – the claw machine! After losing your right paw to the suspicious dungeon lord, you (a down-on-your-luck rabbit) must arm yourself with a (t)rusty claw and set out to reclaim your lost limb!
Test your luck against the Dungeon Lord’s army of minions. Fish for weapons, discover charms and treasures, build a unique deck, and claw your way to victory!
Features:
Deck Building: Build your unique deck from a vast catalogue of cards. Choose wisely, as certain items interact with each other as well as the claw machine.
Lucky Charms: Collect powerful good-luck charms that can quickly change the course of your quest
Mystery Locations: Venture into unseen corners of the dungeon and discover treasures as well as strange, dangerous things…
Push your Luck: Spend your hard earned coin in the dungeon's pachinko machines. With a bit of luck you might get powerful items which help you on your quest!
Customization & Perma Unlocks Visit Grandma and maybe she’ll knit you a new sweater! Unique clothing perks give you an edge on your next dungeon dive.

Also, the team hasagreed to get a real claw machine for the office if the game reaches 10,000 wishlists, so please, spread the word ;)’
