Step off the wagon and into the dusty streets of Freeport Hollows, where The Company promises fortune to anyone willing to risk the dungeons below in Dungeons of Freeport.
In Freeport Hollows, The Company offers those willing to pull their straps up and work the chance to become filthy rich. Working as a contractor, each day you go down into the dungeons hoping to find your fortune and praying you don't meet your demise.

Dungeons of Freeport combines classic roguelike aesthetics with turn-based mechanics and procedurally generated dungeons to explore. However, these procedurally generated dungeons only change once per real-time day and appear the same to players everywhere, presenting an interesting emergent mechanic: will players divide and conquer, sharing their knowledge and the spoils, or will they keep their cards close to see who comes out on top?
