## Description

DAWNGEON is a pixel-art mobile RPG with roguelike gameplay. It uses dual-stick controls to move and attack, offering a skill‑driven challenge. With around 50 items and weapons and many interactive objects, you can fight, cook, grow, and explore across varied environments in rich pixel art.

Set in a post‑apocalyptic world, the story unfolds with two endings as you decide whether to join rebels or oppose the tyrannical government. Dawngeon is an indie project by a single developer, Youngje Park, who created all graphics, art, soundtrack, and gameplay, using some outside resources for trees and sound effects. The game is free, ad‑free, and inspired by Soul Knights, Undertale, and Archero.
