Horripilant is currently in development. Follow development by wishlisting the game on Steam and joining the Discord!

Horripilant is a chilling incremental dungeon crawl through the horrors of a forgotten underworld. Combining idler, puzzle and autobattler elements, you'll fight, mine, and think your way through the depths of a forsaken dungeon. Gather resources, battle unholy creatures, and unravel the mysteries of the abyss. With each step you'll grow stronger, but beware; every boon has its cost.

Story

You awaken. An old, battered knight, lost in the darkest corners of an abandoned dungeon, with no memory of how you got there. The stench of decay permeates the thick air. The walls seem to whisper your name.

As you stir, a strange tree sprout catches your eye. You hit it, for the voice demands it of you; a twig breaks off onto the ground. With your newfound resource, you seem to be able to ameliorate your equipment. Distorted moans echo from an empty staircase. The voice calls to you again, beckoning you. You must go down. It is your purpose...

Encounter bizarre characters, solve cryptic puzzles, and survive the horrors that lurk in every shadow. Will you escape this living nightmare, or will it consume you?

Repeat, adapt, and survive. The depths need you, and you need it.

Love the atmosphere and the mechanics, pretty much what I'd been yearning for in an idle game. I'll make sure to wishlist on Steam.

had potential, which was completely ruined by storage gating. limits to how much of any individual currency can be stored = trash game. always. also fuck the meme bullshit.

GOD LOOKS AT YOU IN SHAME FOR YOUR SINS OF GREED

What does the green apple button do?

If you have an apple in your slots, this means you’ve purchased it. You can see what it does in the shop: Boosts your healing by 100% for 30 seconds.

Hope this helps!
