About this game

When navigating a dungeon, a map is always a handy tool. But what if the dungeon IS the map? In this lighthearted puzzle game, you'll fold the map in various ways to find new rooms and uncover paths to rooms that initially look inaccessible.

Fold and unfold, find loot, and unlock doors to make your way to the chest containing (hopefully!) the legendary GaMuffin! After all, map solving is hungry work.

  • Challenging Puzzles: Engage with a variety of puzzles that test your creativity and strategic thinking.​

  • Captivating Visuals: Enjoy a beautifully crafted 2D world with a unique art style.

  • Let's make the world a little bit better:   10% of all profits will go to the Project for Awesome and the Foundation to Decrease World Suck.
