A Game About Opening A Chest

A Game About Opening A Chest is an incremental roguelike about gathering gold to meet the King’s ever-rising tax demand. Open a chest deep in a dungeon to add a new piece of loot to your inventory, then arrange and swap items to build synergies while guarding your riches from threats. The game features three levels with distinct mechanics and challenges: Chest Dungeon, Astral Void, and King’s Hall. Loot combinations, NPC bonuses, realm threats, and other build-testing events vary between levels, giving you different ways to pursue each rising gold goal.

Gameplay and features

• Build loot synergies: Place loot on Altars to activate abilities, and combine item types and classes for multipliers. Swap equipment as you seek stronger synergies and greater gold output.
• Adapt to each level: Chest Dungeon focuses on maximizing gold, Astral Void challenges you to manage growing Madness, and King’s Hall lets you upgrade, socket, and temper loot.
• Collect varied equipment: Find swords, shields, rings, and guns across six rarity tiers, from Common to Infernal. Procedurally generated stats can make a new item central to your build.
• Face a harder challenge: Master all three levels to unlock a pause-free Hard Mode, where you can test your looting strategies.
