You can't fight. But you can throw things.

You are Tuck, a rat porter on his very first job. Your party fights on its own, and they keep breaking their weapons. The dungeon floor is covered in gear the dead won't need anymore.

Salvage it. Throw it. Keep them alive.

AI disclosure

This game was made with generative AI. The game design and creative direction are mine.

• Code: written with Claude (Anthropic)
• Text: dialogue, lore and room text were drafted by me, then Claude edited and chosen by me.
• Character portraits: generated locally, recolored to the game palette and retouched by hand. The cover's gauntlet was made the same way.
• Some UI textures: generated in code
• Not AI: all music, sound effects, 3D models and animations are human-made assets, credited above.
