Description

The City Beneath is set after Journey to rooted Hold. Beethro Budkin, professional dungeon exterminator, enters the heart of the mysterious underground Empire to find answers such as: * Why do new dungeons appear, populated with ravenous monsters, every time delvers turn around? * What does the Empire want? * When is it time for lunch? This game features 400+ rooms across 30+ levels, each focused on a new puzzle element. Upgraded to the latest version of the DROD engine, with all-new challenge achievements!

The City Beneath was made by and for the DROD player community. Admittedly, The City Beneath is a very difficult game, but it's also a tremendously rewarding experience. We did not make this game for just anyone; we made it for the great puzzlesolvers in the world--the joyful scrutinizers, the illuminated elite!

We highly recommend playing this game after completing Journey to Rooted Hold.

Our approach is to create novel types of puzzles and showcase their facets in the context of an interesting story. You begin as a rather ugly man named "Beethro" who travels deep beneath the ground. There are other people down there too, citizens of a mysterious "Rooted Empire", that are carving tunnels and building things. Beethro just wants to know why, but it's hard to get a useful answer. He was always fond of saying "there is no problem that can't be solved with a really big sword," but upon arriving at the underground capital, Beethro is startled to find that nobody seems interested in attacking him. No, for some reason, they would rather persuade him to stand in a very long line.
