Directory Dungeon - a File Explorer Dungeon Crawler
A downloadable game for Windows
A tiny dungeon crawler played right in the windows file explorer.
Drag and drop the player folder into other folders to move around the dungeon, items can be equipped by dropping them in your Equipment folder, or interacted with by deleting them.
Think of the files and folders in the explorer as the playing pieces, and the console window as the DM keeping track of everything.
Full Version and Demo Available Now!

Amazing game! I tried to troll it in every way possible, yet you predicted everything. I had a blast!
Thanks so much for playing! Really happy you enjoyed it :D
Great Demo!!! short and sweet. Also a great concept!
Thanks! :D
Wish I could play this because it looks very interesting, but I'm having troubles running it on Linux via Wine.
I'm afraid it uses some windows shell libraries for shortcuts and accessing the explorer which don't work with compatibility layers :/
In case it helps you, the libraries in question are:
IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll
Shell32.dll
shdocvw.dll
how do i download it bruh
Demo is coming very soon! (In the next few days)
cant install .net 7
can u send me a tutorial of the .net 7?
Hey, give me a bit of time and I'll upload a version with .Net packaged so you don't have to install it yourself.
I've uploaded a new version that doesn't require .Net now :)
cool,but now i already installed the .net 7,thanks anyway
I've finally killed the Lich... by removing the zombies from the room and reducing his health points ahah
Do you plan to add more content?
Thanks so much for playing!
Did you figure out what to do with the Lich's stone? :)
As for more content, not really. I'm getting started on something new and leaving this as pretty much finished.
Yep!
That's really cool!
Thank you! :D
This is a really neat idea, I'm surprised how well it works
Running DirectoryDungeon.exe doesn't do anything
It's most likely you don't have .Net 7 installed.
If you open a terminal window and run the game directly from there you should see the error.
Thank you, I thought .Net 8 would be enough, but we really need .Net 7!
What a clever concept!
Thank you! :)
