What is GUG?

GUG is a single-player sandbox simulation roguelike where typing words or phrases creates monsters. You assemble a squad, combine creatures’ attacks and abilities, and battle in procedurally generated arenas such as lava jungles and haunted parking lots. Each run changes the rules, enemies, and objectives, and your creations can appear in other players’ games.

For you if...

+you enjoy collecting strange creatures and testing unusual team combinations
+you like absurd humor and unpredictable tactical encounters

Not for you if...
