iPhone
The 1980 dungeon classic, rebuilt for your phone — one life, one seed, the Amulet of Yendor far below. Free, faithful, permadeath.
Direhollow is a faithful mobile remake of Rogue — the 1980 game that started the roguelike. The same Dungeons of Doom. The same A–Z bestiary. The same unforgiving permadeath. Rebuilt for a phone: touch-first, free, and true to the original.
We modernize the shell, not the rules.
THE REAL GAME, ON A PHONE
The same seeded dungeons, the same monsters, the same merciless math — with a 3×3 move pad, pinch-to-zoom, a tap-driven pack, and saves that actually survive a phone call.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND DOWN THERE
• True permadeath — one life, one seed. The save is deleted on death. No reloading an earlier turn.
• The full bestiary — the complete A–Z roster, depth-ordered exactly as the original intended.
• Loot & identify — per-run appearances for scrolls, potions, rings, and wands. Learn them, or risk them.
• The Amulet of Yendor — descend to claim it, then climb back to the surface alive. Few will.
• True ASCII — the authentic 1980 glyph grid. No tiles, no remix. The terminal classic, on a phone.
FREE, AND FAIR
No pay-to-win. No energy timers. No reloads sold back to you. The whole game is earned — exactly as it was in 1980.
