Heart of the Dungeon Slow Jam 2022

This isometric hack-and-slash adventure game features a cast of delightfully weird monsters with full voice acting. Gobkin, a small cat-like Goblin who was cast out from his tribe for being too cute and friendly, finds himself in a dungeon with other rejected monsters. Osseus, the noble skeleton who is missing most of their bones, and Rotta, a fierce but adorably fluffy dungeon rat, will follow Gobkin as they attempt to unite the denizens of this outcast dungeon to fight off a troupe of “heroic” adventurers. 

Counter the dungeon invaders with the aid of your companions and convince your would-be allies to join you. Though it won’t be easy; You may need to deal with threats from within before you can face those from outside…
