Chambers of the Lost - [ Playtest ]

Note: Version 0.2.0 Playtesting is far from a finished product. Gameplay, balancing, and content is the focus. While there are quests for content added, storyline elements are being kept to a minimum until the game is ready to reach a Demo state.

Trapped in a labyrinth of a realm, known as The Chambers. You will discover you're far from the first or last to be sent to this place. Your objective, find a way to defeat the dragons and other beasts guarding the gate keys that may grant your freedom. Uncover the mystery of the Chambers, while finding your way out of this seemingly endless and punishing dungeon.

Level 20 Cap: Don't be fooled, it's still a journey to level up. Lower level cap, allows a greater importance to each gain. Also, a greater emphasis on finding better gear and recruiting allies for additional end-game gains.

Semi-Permadeath: There's no reviving party members with Rest in this RPG. When an ally is dead, the only way to revive them is with difficult to acquire potions. Build a group of allies, so you may swap them out between battles to avoid a complete wipe.

Revive or New Game+ on Party Wipe: With update 0.1.7 an option to Revive or Restart is given. The player is going to reload their file if they die anyway, so why not streamline the process a bit and just let you revive.  Or, you may now select New Game+ and carry over your progress into a new game, restarting your story, stronger than before.

Talent Point Combat System: Use TP generated during combat wisely. Not only to perform attacks, but also to heal wounds, cure poison and other states/debuffs, which all require the TP. You will need to manage these points and use Talents wisely to help save your scarce healing items.

Cursed Chests: Riches await you adventurer, as well as regret. Chests in the dungeon may be trapped with dark magic. Travel with herbs and potions and use them wisely, your life may be depending on it after opening a poisoned chest or being forced to battle the mimic chest.

Don't Starve: The Hunger / Thirst system makes finding Food & Water equally as important to surviving the chambers. Find food and water by searching through vast amounts of chests, foraging, as well as fighting enemies. All else fails, visit Maev for some Stew.

Remain Calm: Use items, talents, and npc services to manage your stress levels, preventing you from entering negative states like Manic. Reading Books, Drinking Alcohol, Resting, NPC interactions and using various items currently affect your Stress Levels.

Breakable Objects: In addition to chests, you may find gold and items by breaking the Pots, Crates, and Barrels you find within the chambers. 

A Massive & Colorful Dungeon: Over 400 maps create this labyrinth. The Chambers come from the imagination of a psychic when he was a young child, casting countless lives into them ever since.

Recruit Allies: Encounter others lost in the chambers willing to team up, usually for a price. Be cautious, each come with their own baggage. Some may refuse to work together, limiting your options to create the group you want. Some may get you into trouble with others, or worse. All will certainly increase the usage of your supplies. Sometimes it's just easier to hire them at the Recruitment Board.
