HELLFOG
HELLFOG
Every tile hides a choice. Every monster has a price.
HELLFOG is a dark fantasy puzzle roguelite inspired by Minesweeper. Explore a hidden dungeon, uncover dangerous creatures, discover powerful loot, and decide how much you're willing to risk.
The numbers on revealed tiles show the combined strength of nearby hidden monsters. Use these clues to make smart decisions — or take your chances and face the consequences.
Your attack determines which monsters you can defeat. Your health determines how long you can survive.
Will you find the exit and escape, or become powerful enough to defeat the dungeon boss?
