CHRIS: Beneath the Mountain

CHRIS: Beneath the Mountain

CHRIS: Beneath the Mountain is a classic, turn-based retro rogue-lite dungeon crawler playable directly in your browser.

Ancient dwarven mines have fallen into darkness. The fearsome Arch-Dragon Yendor drove the dwarves from their ancestral delve and claimed their sacred Amulet. At dusk, outside the sealed iron gate, our hero Chris prepares to descend into the treacherous depths, battle monstrous horrors, and return what was lost.
