SPELLBOUND

Browser first-person roguelike in a procedurally generated office dungeon. Clear floors, brew spells, loot merchants, finish quests, and climb the leaderboard — solo or in 1v1 Arena matchmaking.

How to play

Desktop handles movement, menus, and combat.

• No phone paired: mouse-look on the game canvas; hold Space and draw spell patterns on the on-screen 3×3 grid.
• Phone paired (optional): scan the QR on the connect screen. The phone becomes your spell controller — touchpad, motion, or air-tap casting. Use A/D or arrow keys to turn while paired.

Pick Normal for floor checkpoints, or Hardcore for permadeath. After the tutorial, each elevator ride takes you deeper. Online progress and the global leaderboard need the live backend (enabled on itch).
