A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Created for the 2024 Dungeon Crawler Jam https://itch.io/jam/dcjam2024

BleakHarbor takes all four themes of Infinity/The Endless, Ancient Ruins, Solitude and Cosmic Horror. Melding them into 3 levels of crawling terror. Are you dreaming or are you the dream?

Beginning on the beach, Binro is your unlikely ghostly host. He will take you through the mysteries of BleakHarbor. The depths of the Cannery and the deep of the under temple.

There are doors, and traps, and turny-things and secrets to find. potions to drink and throw, weapons to pick and clothes to wear and along the way you will meet the mutated inhabitants, find their fate and taste their madness. DON'T DRINK THE FLAMMABLE OIL!

Will you get all the way to the end and keep your sanity? Or will the Lovecraftian god Dagon get you wrapped in it's tentacles instead? Will you keep your mind till the end, or just end your mind...

Sticking to traditional Dungeon Crawler mechanics featuring full keyboard and mouse control. You can resize the window and make it fullscreen. use the inventory to store things you find, plus wear and eat and throw all sorts of oddness.

BleakHarbor was constructed during the Jam time using a custom written crawler editor: Dungeon Thingy. This was created by a one man team, along with all models, and graphics. It uses a custom written 3d engine, particle system and audio engine.

Many thanks to Zooperdan for keeping me involved and motivated to finish this :)

BleakHarbor uses the DungeonThingy dungeon crawler tool - hence the different names on pc vs macos


V1.02 Thu May 23

Complete rework of the internal systems bug fixes throughout plus new UI improvements, etc.

The game has not changed too much. So be aware that it can be brutal at times.

Best advice is to always look around and see if there are any upgrades or secrets you can find!
