About Dungeon Bodega Simulator
Dungeon Bodega Simulator puts you in the shoes of Elm Myrkwater, a laid‑off adventurer who inherits an underground shop created by draconic magic. The main story lasts 3‑4 hours and spans 24 in‑game days, during which you grow crops, brew potions, forge weapons and sell them to villagers, researchers and dungeon dwellers.
The game features retro‑style graphics, a day/night cycle, pet slimes that turn unused items into potions, and a puzzle‑driven dungeon mystery. After completing the story you can continue indefinitely in Infinite mode, expanding your shop and attracting new customers.
