The Vaults Below Durn: A Field Study

Far below the town of Durn lies the Vaults, a sprawling dungeon no explorer has ever returned from.

Now it stretches endlessly before you. Can you read the signs to find the safe path through?

An atmospheric dungeon experience designed to be completed in one sitting.

Each room presents a choice between three doors. Subtle signs reveal which door is safe:

• faint sounds beyond the door

• moisture clinging to the ancient stone

• the slightest movement of the air around you

Pay attention. The Vaults rewards the cautious, and punishes the careless. As you descend deeper, the signs will be harder to spot, and you will have to consider the combinations of them to continue on your journey.

As you descend, you’ll find field studies left behind by the last explorer. They will help guide you deeper.

Then there are the journal pages. Why would the explorer leave these behind and what story do they tell?
