A procedurally-generated RPG exploration game. I'll be honest. I started working on this before the AI boom. Then I used the AI boom to finish it. 

Briarwild is a procedurally generated wild-forest survival RPG. Every run drops you into a fresh, seeded forest: level up, pick upgrades, chain kill combos, survive the hordes — and slay the Demon Cyclops that comes hunting you every five levels.

Features

  • Procedurally generated forest world, four map sizes (up to Huge 520×520)
  • 18 enemy types that unlock as you level — melee, lungers and ranged casters
  • Roguelike runs with a goal: awaken every Waystone, then slay the Briar Heart to win
  • Level-up upgrade cards, kill combos, escalating hordes, boss fights, slow health regen
  • Local leaderboard, run stats, explored-only minimap
  • Play in browser, on desktop, or on Android (touch controls + gamepad support)
  • Rebindable keys, separate music/sound toggles, music volume slider

Controls

  • Keyboard: WASD / arrows move, Space (or J) attacks, Tab stats, Esc pause — rebindable in the menu
  • Gamepad: left stick / D-pad moves, A attacks, Start pauses
  • Touch (Android/mobile web): left-side joystick, right-side attack button
