What is The Dwarf Run?
A single-player RPG with cinematic, top-down, and third-person camera options, following dwarf Dalain Stonecruncher and his companions on an expedition to an ancient underworld temple. You follow a linear story, explore locations, use inventory items to solve puzzles, and direct the party in turn-based battles.
