Depths of Boatmurdered

Depths of Boatmurdered is a free top-down horror game inspired by the infamous Let’s Play of Dwarf Fortress, Boatmurdered. The game is ~2 hours long and follows a lost dwarf who stumbles upon the terrible ruins of Boatmurdered. However, you can play through just fine without any knowledge of the Let’s Play!

Screenshots:





Depths of Boatmurdered only very vaguely adheres to the original layout of the fortress from the Let’s Play. It also largely ignores established Dwarf Fortress lore (I haven’t played any Dwarf Fortress).

If you’re interested, please give it a try! (Windows only)

Tips:

Keyboard and Xbox controllers are both supported!

Being able to dead-end yourself is very rare, so if you feel stuck, it’s likely there’s something nearby that you missed.

Even with a weapon, enemies cannot be killed – try to escape instead!
