A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

You've been cursed to live the life of a monster. The evil wizard was defeated long ago, but your curse remains. His magic orb is the key to breaking your curse. Explore the dungeon, battle monsters, and GET THE ORB*

GET THE ORB is an experimental dungeon crawling RPG that renders at a resolution of 24x24. Everything is expressed in a 3x3 grid of 8x8 characters, with the intention being boiling down a computer role-playing game down to the very basic essentials.

NOTE 1: GET THE ORB is a work in progress, it is far from finished and you are likely to encounter bugs. Feel free to report them, but this is a hobby project and I do not promise it will ever get finished.

NOTE 2: If you have not played the game before, read the included manual. Due to the nature of the visuals, there is no reliable way to surface controls or mechanics in game. There isn't much going on, so it is not a lot to remember.

*you currently cannot get the orb.
