***Known bugs***

• (minor spoiler)The red wire script in the data center incorrectly makes the blue wire appear to be pulled (its not if you haven't done so already). Make sure to still pull the blue wire if you never actually did to proceed.

• Sometimes the interaction cursor doesn't show up and may 'click through' objects that can otherwise be interacted with. While I didn't encounter much of this in testing, it's an engine bug and space bar should work. 

• Related to the above the camera (or character) may face the wrong way after moving through doors, causing interactivity and movement issues. This should be fixable by turning the character which would reset the camera appropriately.

• Some UI elements (money, for example) display the variable reference vs the actual value that's useful to the player. I think some UI elements are also reverting to default after a save., Not gamebreaking, but be aware.

• Party stats "about" button isn't working. For information on statistics and what they do, see below section "party statistics info"

This is my submission for DC Jam 2025!

This is a short sci-fi heist dungeon crawler made in RPG in a Box with a totally custom menu-combat system. Enjoy and check out my other projects!

Read me:

Make sure the .exe and .pck file are in the same folder before launching the executable. Credits/attributions text is included in zip. Unfortunately the engine I use does not yet have a web export and Windows may complain it's an unsigned exe - you can safely ignore or reach out to me in the Dungeon Crawler.org discord.
