TOLLMAW

TOLLMAW

Come home alive.

A first-person dungeon crawl about the debt under the city of Gallowmere — and how much of yourself you'll pay to carry loot back up.

descend

Chapter zero

Every promise
has a price.

Long ago the kings of Gallowmere asked seven gods to witness the seal over the Maw. A witnessed promise holds. But the tolls grew — a stone, then a bell, then a name — until the city paid with things it could not count.

Seven gods signed. The covenant has an eighth line. Someone left it blank.

I

Stone

takes labour

The miners who never came up.

II

Water

takes breath

The cistern remembers every one.

III

Ice

takes hours

Whole years, frozen out of the world.

IV

The Record

takes names

Ask a king his name. He cannot say.

V

Roots

takes kin

Children who were never born.

VI

Fire

takes memory

The Hollow Flame, chained and hungry.

VII

Wind

takes warning

The one bell nobody was meant to hear.

Eighty stages · Eight regions

Go down.
Further than is wise.

    The run, in three breaths

    Bring a torch.
    Bring an exit plan.

    01

    Prepare

    Wake in the Waystation, the last warm room. Choose your hero, your weapon, your boons. Whatever you pack, you might not bring back.

    02

    Descend

    First-person, fast, hungry. Chain combos, draw the bow, cast, mine ore from the walls. The deeper the stage, the richer the loot — and the louder the dark gets.

    03

    Extract

    Find the way out and live. Die down there and you lose what you carried. Greed is the real boss.

    What waits for you

    A whole world
    in a browser tab.

    Six heroes. Dozens of ways to die gloriously.

    Knights, archers, hexcasters, daggers. Every weapon has its own combo chain, heavy blow and feel. Level up and pick a boon from twenty-eight.

    Bosses with grudges

    A chapter boss every ten stages. A real victory over the Hollow Flame at sixty.

    Hatch a companion

    Raise eggs into pets that fight at your side.

    The Waystation

    Workshop, Market, Forge and Wardrobe. Spend what you carried home.

    Descend together

    Form a party. Share the dark, ring the marks, split the haul — or don't.

    Ten weekly dungeons

    New trials rotate in. Plus the twenty-stage Luminous Reach and its dragon.

    Look into the Maw

    Footage from the dark

    Overgrown ruins under green rain A glowing watcher across a frozen floor A masked figure under a full moon A furnace hall of red stone The Witness ring beneath a violet sky A moonlit market beside the extraction gate

    The bell is ringing

    Someone is owed.
    Go and be counted.
