Hey! This is a demo version of Horripilant! You can wishlist the full version of the game on Steam! This demo version stops you when you reach floor 10/1000, but you may keep playing and go back in your save for however how long you want! If you wish to keep your progress to use in the full game, I highly recommend playing the demo on Steam! Progress will carry over!
If you get jumpscared!
Horripilant is a chilling incremental dungeon crawl through the horrors of a forgotten underworld. Combining idler, puzzle and autobattler elements, you'll fight, mine, and think your way through the depths of a forsaken dungeon. With each step you'll grow stronger, but beware; every boon has its burden.
Story
You awaken. An old, battered knight, lost in the darkest corners of an abandoned dungeon, with no memory of how you got there. The stench of decay permeates the thick air. The walls seem to whisper your name.
A strange tree catches your eye. Barely a sprout, growing in defiance of the dark. The voice demands you hit it. A twig breaks off onto the ground. The first of many.
Distorted moans echo from an empty staircase. Beckoning you. You must go down. It is your purpose...
Encounter bizarre characters, solve cryptic puzzles, and survive the horrors that lurk in every shadow. Will you escape this living nightmare, or will it consume you?
Features
- Incrementally gain and collect materials.
- Combat horrific foes over 1000 floors in the dungeon.
- Solve puzzles and explore the depths of your camp.
- Upgrade your gear to venture deeper.
- Meet God
- Become worthy
Repeat, adapt, and survive. The depths need you, and you need it.

Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing?
If you've renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension).

All in all, very promising demo with a really unique feel. I would have hoped to see more of the "escape room/exploration" part, but I suppose it's best to keep some secrets for the main game. Wishlisted!
developer response: yo! crazy that someone brought this up, but kinda yea! the meat gating the amount of materials you need is inspired by that UFO50 game, liked it a lot! Otherwise exploration/RPG aspect of the game is inspired by Candy Box games & Artistic Direction is very inspired by Plastiboo's Vermis! Bunch of different inspirations in this game :) Glad you enjoyed!
