Compra Life Is a Dungeon: Lean Into It. PC

What Kind of Game Is This?

A band of eccentric adventurers, driven out of the royal capital, kept exploring dungeons in the desolate Land of Impermanence. Then, by sheer chance, they stumbled toward the secrets hidden by the Church—and the secrets of the world itself.

Take control of four characters with very different traits: the Hunter, Fighter, Blacksmith, and Mage. Open treasure chests, defeat enemies, mine ore, gather materials, and combine equipment and skills to conquer the dungeons.

Features

Simple Mouse-Only Controls

The controls are easy enough to use while munching on chips. Automatic and manual control flow seamlessly into one another, making the game perfect for playing while doing something else. Games that feel this good to control are hard to come by. And make no mistake—the action and game mechanics are the real deal!

Unmatched Builds and Progression

As you advance through dungeon floors, you gain random skills. Every dive offers a different combination to play with. And skills do not always have purely positive effects. They are quirks, after all. Use them well, though, and they can become formidable assets. But yeah... they are random.

But! You can bring equipment with you! And in this game, equipment comes with skills of its own. Combine the skills fixed to your chosen equipment with the random skills you find inside the dungeon to create a build that is entirely your own.

The skills in this game get wild!

Manage Your Resources Wisely

Combine lots of equipment packed with skills and... wait, what? That Stamina cost is getting out of hand. That is right. Dungeon crawling works up an appetite. The right combination can unleash flashy combos or blazing-fast movement—but it will make you hungry. Being alive makes you hungry.

So make sure you come prepared.

Characters

Choose the Right Character

There are four characters. Choose your favorite? Sure, that works. But in this game, they differ in more than just playstyle. Let us introduce the four distinctive adventurers who were driven from the royal capital and washed up in this strange land.

Hunter

A master lockpicker and former member of the Thieves' Guild. He must have seen something he was not supposed to. Apparently, the guild threw him out. He can open every kind of treasure chest. Combat is not his strong suit, but he is quick on his feet—and very good at making money.

Trait: Frugal → He cannot help opening treasure chests. He cannot move on to the next floor until every chest on the current floor has been opened.

Fighter

The daughter of a noble house and a former knight. To her, garbage nobles and goblins are basically the same thing. She abandoned her family. An all-brawn combat specialist. Once she spots an enemy, restraint goes out the window. She burns through resources, too. At least you will never be short on monster materials.

Trait: Aggressive → She cannot leave an enemy undefeated. She cannot move on to the next floor until every enemy on the current floor has been defeated.

Blacksmith

A former master craftsperson at a famous forge in the royal capital. If the result is good, cost does not matter. Quality is everything. Apparently, that got him fired. Mining lets him break through certain dungeon walls. He wants the ore, after all. Dig cleverly, and you might even avoid some enemies.

Trait: Perfectionist → He cannot leave any ore or arms behind. He cannot move on to the next floor until every ore deposit and piece of equipment on the current floor has been found.

Mage

A genius alchemist who became the youngest person ever to graduate from the academy of magic and later served as a court mage. She researched the power of the orbs—and seems to have learned something better left unknown. She is physically frail, but her long-range magic is powerful. Defeat enemies with magic to obtain Skill Orbs. There is plenty to research.

Trait: Collecting Habit → She gathers every natural resource, including alchemical materials. She cannot advance until everything has been collected.

Choose What Catches Your Eye

Which character you challenge the dungeon with, what equipment you bring, and which skills you combine can completely change your approach. Once you factor in each character's traits and your limited Stamina, you may find yourself deliberating far more than expected.

Choose what catches your eye. Beyond that choice, an adventure you can experience only in this game awaits.

Demo Limitations

Once the total playtime for a save slot reaches 5 hours, you will no longer be able to enter dungeons using that save slot.

In addition, some dungeons cannot be explored in the demo.

Your progress from the demo can be carried over to the full game, allowing you to continue where you left off.
