You and your village have been cursed. When the sand stops running through the hourglass, you all will perish. Can you break the curse before time runs out?
Beat the Clock
Rush through randomly generated dungeons on your way to defeat the Chronomancer. Every second matters, so you will need to explore efficiently.
Spend Your Time Wisely
You're not strong enough to beat the Chronomancer on your own. Spend time off of your clock to buy upgrades like new weapons, potions to grow stronger, or trinkets with powerful effects. But don't spend too frivolously, you will need some time left if you want to fight the Chronomancer.
The nature of the clock lends to many spending strategies. Should you spend your time more at the beginning while you still have it, or hoard time until the end where the most powerful items are offered? Perhaps it would be more efficient to buy more trinkets instead of investing in potions... The choice is yours.
Powerful Weapons
An arsenal of weapons is at your disposal. Bows, swords, crossbows, knives, and more. Utilize 4 different status types: Frost, which slows your enemies; Lightning, which periodically stuns; Fire, which rapidly burns; and Poison, which builds the more you inflict it.
Empowering Potions
Choose what stats to increase by buying potions. When you defeat enough enemies to gain a level, the potions you've taken will grant you extra points in those stats. Will you balance your growth, or go all in on one stat?
Mysterious Trinkets
Trinkets grant you abilities and effects that you may find useful. Some simply increase your stats, while others give you new ways to defend yourself. There are even legends of rarer, stranger trinkets with both powerful and detrimental effects.
