Within a Dead City is a tiny 4X game about managing autonomous heroes as they search for gold and glory inside the cursed capital of a fallen empire. Grow your outpost, place bounties on monsters, and cast spells to save your heroes from their own overconfident decisions.

It ain't easy running an Adventurer's Guild - you have to deal with monster attacks, angry gods, and cowardly heroes. Money can solve a lot of problems (and motivate cowardly heroes), but a good strategy demands more than just bags of cash. You'll need to manage heroes as they grow from rookies into champions.

Let someone else do the dangerous work. There's riches to be found inside the dead city. Hire foolhardy and fearless adventurers to bring it back to you! Heroes will act on their on accord: slaying monsters, raiding lairs, and defending your guild outpost. Try to keep them out of trouble - their greed can lead them to bite off more than they can chew.

Find forbidden knowledge within ancient ruins. The old gods are jealous gods, and they will do all they can to keep their temples safe from intruders. Balance economic growth against steadily growing corruption. Defend your outpost from the encroaching monster lairs. If you and your heroes can survive in the ruins, you'll be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams.
