The core loop

Enter a dungeon, fight through rooms, collect relics, arrange them in your limited backpack, then decide whether to push deeper or teleport home. Back in town, sell the haul, read customer reactions and reinvest in upgrades.

Build around the systems

Backpack space, relic quality, weapon choice, run perks, shop furniture, NPC quests and town progression all connect. Use the related guides to follow one decision through the whole dungeon → shop loop.
