Three doors. One safe path.
An adventure game where observation and deduction are your only tools. 100% human made.
Far below the town of Durn lies a sprawling dungeon where survival depends not on combat, but observation. Look for clues in the environment and piece together an 800 year old mystery. Just what lies in the Vaults?
Every room presents a choice between three doors. Only one is safe. The other two lead… somewhere else. Your survival depends entirely on reading the environment. Look for subtle clues:
- Faint knocking behind the doors
- Damp stones
- The slightest draft
- Movement where there should be none
As you descend, you’ll find fully narrated field studies left by the last explorer.
Uncover three interconnected tales spanning eight centuries as you piece together the forgotten history of the Vaults and discover the fate of those who ventured before you.
