A downloadable game for Windows

Depths of Boatmurdered is a top-down 2D horror game inspired by the infamous Dwarf Fortress Let's Play "Boatmurdered".

However, you don't need to know anything about the LP or Dwarf Fortress to enjoy Depths of Boatmurdered. The game only vaguely adheres to the original fortress layout in the LP, and does not try to include lore or mechanics from Dwarf Fortress.

Depths of Boatmurdered is ~2 hours long, and follows a lone dwarf as he struggles to stay alive.

Tips:

  • Keyboard and Xbox controllers are both supported!
  • Being able to dead-end yourself is very rare, so if you feel stuck, it's likely there's something nearby that you missed.
  • Even with a weapon, enemies cannot be killed – try to escape instead!

Played this years ago, now I will download it to play it again :)
As a gamedev who loves C#/XNA /MonoGame, I always find this game to be an awesome experience and inspiration.
