Beneath a desolate moor lies an enigmatic maze, its twisted corridors teeming with treacherous traps and remnants of ill-fated adventurers who dared to tread its path.

The Moss Mother guards her home against all intruders, but there are great rewards to be had for those who brave her hallways.

Immerse yourself in a world of rot, rust, and rebirth, where the echoes of buried legends stalk your every move.

The Moss Mother's Maze is the first dungeon crawl adventure for A Dungeon Game. Delve into a sprawling maze of ancient iron in search of the titular Moss Mother and the treasure she protects. Face devious traps, learn strange magic, and meet the lost and lonely people who ventured into the maze before you and were unable to escape.
