About game
Slavic folklore hides dark secrets beneath quiet villages where restless spirits wait for an unsuspecting hero to stumble into their lair. Iznanka turns these ancient myths into a gritty turn-based challenge where every step counts toward your survival. You pick a warrior, witch, or jester to navigate the shifting tunnels of this treacherous dungeon. Bumping into foes triggers combat, while your hero skills help manage the cooldowns that keep you alive against the undead. Shrines appear after you clear a floor to grant powerful wards that change how your character performs in the shadows. Defeating heavy bosses like Baba Yaga allows you to drag spirit back to the surface for permanent village upgrades. Because every run generates a new layout, you never face the exact same threat twice. Start your journey into the depths right here in your browser without any annoying downloads.
How to play
Move with the on-screen buttons, or arrow keys / WASD on desktop — stepping into an enemy attacks it. Each hero has two skills (buttons on the right), each with its own cooldown — use them wisely. Clearing a floor opens a shrine offering a choice of three wards, active for the whole run. Spend spirit collected in the dungeon at the shrine: healing or rerolling ward choices. Die, and the run ends — but spirit converts into sparks to upgrade the village for good. In the village, boost your hero along four paths and unlock new heroes.
