El Paso Texas - October 6, 2022- Strange Scaffold, in partnership with Damien Crawford of Cannibal Interactive is proud to announce the launch of Purgatory Dungeoneer (a.k.a. My Grandpa Died And All He Left Me Was This 1 Dungeon In Purgatory Filled With Nihilistic Adventurers) the maximalist roguelite RPG about plundering a psychic hellmaw for personal closure, and the resources to build a town beyond the grave.
Purgatory Dungeoneer is a lo-fi high-tactics game about not only surviving delves into a dungeon for the resources needed to rebuild the town you’ve inherited, but also to help the retired adventurers that came along with it find personal closure. Acting in the role of mayor of this supernatural medieval village that is home to a wide cast of former adventurers, you will help restore the buildings of this place just as much as the characters that inhabit them.
With over 400 possible residents, and a pool of over 100 classes, Purgatory Dungeoneer is a tactically deep game about balancing your party to brave the depths of the hellmaw and come back intact. The game features a wide array of skills and abilities, but no consumable items, so each attempt at the dungeon requires planning, skill, and a shrewdly judged party configuration to succeed.
Death is only a minor setback on this journey of discovery, introspection, and healing. Each trip into the dungeon helps uncover more of the histories, motivations, and emotional baggage that led these retired adventures to languish. It’s up to you to help them find the closure they so desperately crave.
But don’t expect a traditional roguelike. You’re not in search of the perfect run. What you seek is something much more meaningful.
Purgatory Dungeoneer is available today at the retail price of $9.99 on Steam.

A focused world. There's no wasted travel time, or anything to miss that you can't get later.
