Below the Crown drops you into a kingdom where the Emperor’s hunger for gold outweighs his concern for the dangers lurking beneath his own throne.

With just a single chess piece at your side, you step into the dungeon’s shifting rooms, preparing spells, summoning new allies, and uncovering the unsettling truths buried in the dark.
What begins as a simple mission unfolds into an inventive fusion of tactics and adventure. Instead of memorizing openings or slogging through endless endgames, each chamber offers a fresh puzzle: cast new pieces with surprising abilities, outmaneuver enemies until you face the dungeon’s cunning bosses, and decide whether you’ll spend your hard-earned gold to stay alive… or dutifully deliver it to the Emperor who sent you down here in the first place.
