Dungeons & Diagnoses
Dungeons & Diagnoses is a narrative fantasy game where you play as the kingdom’s only psychotherapist. In a world of cursed relics, chosen heroes, dungeon crawls, and apocalyptic prophecies, your patients arrive convinced they are enchanted, haunted, doomed, or marked by fate itself. But beneath the magical language, dramatic backstories, and absurd fantasy logic, their real problem may be something far more human.
From anxious guards and unstable rogues to burned-out heroes and lonely dark lords, every patient brings a different story into your office. Your job is to listen carefully, notice contradictions, gather symptoms, and look past what they believe is happening to understand what is really wrong.
Talk to patients, collect symptoms during branching conversations, consult your handbook, compare possible diagnoses, and decide on the treatment. Then complete the prescription, stamp it, and send them back into the world. Your decisions shape how each story ends — and those endings can be tragic, absurd, heartfelt, or catastrophic.
At its core, Dungeons & Diagnoses is a game about interpretation. The challenge is not just hearing what characters say, but understanding what they mean. Fantasy curses, magical afflictions, and heroic suffering often hide fear, obsession, loneliness, burnout, delusion, or self-destruction. A correct diagnosis may genuinely help someone. A bad one may ruin a life, unleash chaos, or create a disaster that spreads far beyond your office walls.
The game blends dark humor, cozy atmosphere, and character-driven storytelling. Candlelight, books, parchment, and quiet rooms create the feeling of safety, while every conversation carries the tension of making the wrong call. It is a world that feels warm on the surface, but unstable underneath.

Please note:Â the game is currently in early development. Many planned features have not yet been implemented, and the visuals, writing, interface, gameplay systems, balance, and overall content may change significantly over time.
Transparency note: the game's visuals are currently AI-generated. The text was written by me in my native language and translated with AI assistance. This is a solo early-access project and replacing the visuals with hand-drawn art is part of the long-term plan.
