About Vaporum
Vaporum is a grid-based, single-player dungeon crawler game, that uses a first-person perspective in an original steampunk setting. The game is inspired by old-school games like Dungeon Master I and II, the Eye of the Beholder series and the more recent Legend of Grimrock I and II.
Stranded in the middle of an ocean, in front of a gigantic tower, you, the hero must find out what the place is, what happened there, and most importantly, who you are.
Key Features
