About
Directory Dungeon is a tiny dungeon crawler played right in the windows file explorer.
Explore a monster and loot filled dungeon by dragging and dropping your player folder into new rooms, equip powerful items by dropping them into your equipment folder, and defeat terrible monsters in auto-resolved combat.
Play the game in the windows file explorer and console window! Think of the file explorer as the playing pieces of the game and the console window as the dungeon master keeping track of everything.
Explore the dungeon by dragging and dropping your player into a new room, or just cutting and pasting them there.
Fight and defeat terrible monsters! And then loot their folders!
Arm and armour yourself with the loot you find throughout the dungeon, by dropping it into your equipment folder.
Enjoy a tasty cabbage, or other dungeon treats, to refresh yourself between fights!
Figure out the secret to banishing evil from the dungeon forever!
Nope! Directory Dungeon only ever touches files which it has created, never looks at files outside of its install directory, and doesn't use any weird file system hacks. Check out the FAQ in the Steam Discussions for more info!

For real though! The aspect of combining a command prompt and medieval aesthetics is just crisp. For some reason, I felt that I was playing The Tower of Druaga without me realizing.
Le jeu vaut le coup, rien que pour l'expérience particulière qu'il propose. Il y en a pour 2h-3h, le temps de comprendre les pièges et les énigmes.
Really cool idea that I would like to see expanded. Maybe the terminal could play a larger role.
Neat little dungeon crawler with a cool gimmick.
Весьма интересный саленький данжен кроулер, с гиммиком того, что всё управление происходит через взаимодействие с проводником на вашем пк. Игра становится ЕЩЁ интереснее, когда понимаешь что возможности проводника можно использовать и так, как ты изначально не ожидаешь, но этого я спойлерить не буду...
Very fun concept. Pretty short, it took me about 1.5h I got stuck at several places and but it would have probably taken less then one hour if i wasn't slightly distracted in conversation while playing.
After only 15 minutes of playing, I think this is one of the most unique videogames I've ever played. The entire game is played entirely in your file explorer, but a separate text tab opens that actively narrates and describes the events around you similar to a traditional text adventure. It's genuinely genius how it uses your file explorer to the fullest. Need to eat a cabbage? Delete it. Need to equip an item? Place it in the folder representing your player. It's a lot more intuitive than it initially seems along with being chock full of personality and secrets. It really clicked for me the moment I ended my own run by curiously deleting a door, which was then explained in-universe as the door mysteriously vanishing; dooming me to be trapped. :(
short yet fun! Best experienced if you have some ambient music, and you'll want to use Ctrl+x and Ctrl+V to move stuff and your character around easily since dragging and dropping is a bit sluggish
This is fun and very creative. You basically move or delete your files, and this makes a pretty solid minimalist dungeon crawler game. If you like never-before-seen game mechanics, this game is for you!
Petit jeu pas cher où tout se passe dans vos fichiers ! Glissez votre perso dans les portes pour entrer dans une nouvelle salle, copiez/collez l'arc elfique pour l'équiper, ouvriez le fichier texte pour lire l'inscription sur le panneau... Assez court mais concept rigolo !
