A free browser-based roguelike maze with permadeath
Vaelorn is an atmospheric town built above a maze full of traps, monsters, and forgotten treasures. Play it right in your browser - no install, free. Every attempt starts from level 1: no checkpoints, no second chances. Light the torches, find the exit, and descend as deep as you can before the maze swallows you like it did every player before you.
You can try the first three levels as a guest, without registering. Creating an account takes a few seconds and unlocks progress saving, leaderboards, guilds, and achievements.
Every attempt takes you through a different combination of six biomes, and each one plays by its own rules you'll need to adapt to.
Ancient sarcophagi tempt you to open them - a gamble that can reward you with gear, potions, and soul shards, or strike you with a curse.
The floor turns icy in places - you can't stop or turn instantly on ice.
Fire spreads through the surroundings - stepping into the flames burns you.
Thick fog occasionally rolls in, sharply cutting your sight range for a while.
Colorful mushrooms grow on the floor with opposing effects - speed, invincibility, healing, or a painful hit.
Find the lever that permanently opens the gate blocking the way to the exit.
You die and start over from level 1 - but the gear, experience, and knowledge of the traps stay with you for your next attempt.
Start a guild with friends, share your combined score, and climb the guild leaderboard together.
Measure yourself against other players and climb to the top of the leaderboard.
Dozens of achievements, a daily Wheel of Fortune, and plenty more.
