Nodality

Pondhawk Games, LLC

About this game

The dungeon you're looking at isn't the only dungeon there is. Every chamber connects to its neighbors in more than one way, and a nearby switch can shift the whole layout into a different configuration — opening doors that weren't there a moment ago, and closing others that were. Your job: collect every key, reach the exit, and do it in as few moves as you can.
Every dungeon is generated fresh, not pulled from a fixed set of levels — one purchase, and you've got an endless supply of new puzzles, never a "you've finished the game" screen. Beginner and Standard play entirely offline, forever, on a plane or anywhere else. The only feature that ever touches the network is Today's Dungeon.
There's no timer and no health bar, either. Nodality is a calm, thinking-person's puzzle — the kind you can play in a waiting room or unwind with before bed. Move at your own pace, backtrack when you need to see a room differently, and never worry about losing to a clock.
WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING
• Explore a small network of connected chambers.
• Flip switches to reconfigure which corridors are open — the same rooms, rearranged.
• Track down keys, some only reachable in specific configurations.
• Unlock the exit once every key is yours, and get out.
• Aim for the shortest possible path — your move efficiency is tracked and remembered.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Beginner — smaller dungeons, a gentler way to learn the mechanic.
• Standard — the real challenge, with denser configurations and more to track.
• Today's Dungeon — one procedurally generated dungeon, the same for every player, refreshed daily. Escape it and generate a shareable card with your move count and efficiency to compare with friends.
LEARN BY DOING
No manual to read first. A short interactive tutorial walks you through moving, taking keys, and flipping switches inside a small dungeon before you're on your own.
KEEP TRACK OF YOUR ESCAPES
My Escapes remembers your total completed dungeons and your flawless escapes — runs where every move brought you closer to the exit. After any run, Retrace Your Steps replays your path chamber by chamber, so you can see exactly where the shortest route diverged from your own.
BUILT TO BE PLAYED YOUR WAY
• Full light and dark themes.
• A colorblind-friendly palette and optional shape markers, so configuration and key colors are never the only way to tell them apart.
• Adjustable haptics, sound, and music, including a reverb-length slider for the ambient soundscape.
• A Reduce Motion setting that turns off every animation in the game.
• Map chambers are reachable by keyboard and screen reader, not just touch.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
