A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

After a stroke of bad luck your adventuring party starts to question your abilities as a leader. Can you lead them through their next dungeon without completely losing control or even worse lives?

Your party will do whatever they want. You can only lead them by providing a path they should take. You have to know your party well to predict what challenges they can face and what problems might cost you your head as a group leader.
