Dungeons of Emotaria ⚔️  

Explore the world of Emotaria, a turn-based souls-like dungeon crawler in a realm entirely populated with emojis.

Hunt mobs through the procedural dungeons of the seven castles, loot weapons and spells from the depths, level up your character and weapons, fight bosses, and complete quests to acquire special items.

Emojis won't be the same for you after you've mastered the seven castles of Emotaria.

Note: This game was mainly developed for mobile but has full hotkey support on desktop as well. As it uses your system's emojis, it may look different on different devices.

Origins 

Dungeons of Emotaria started as a game design and vibe coding experiment: how far could an AI coding agent take a game concept from scratch through natural conversation? What you're playing is the result of that process — a fully playable game built entirely through dialogue, without a single line of code written by hand.

The experiment got out of hand, and in the end, we've spent three months working on the balancing, story, sound, and visual design.

We think it's quite fun to play, so we wanted to share it with you.
