Get ready for a chilling adventure in Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons! This cooperative game plunges you headfirst into the D&D universe, where you and your friends must unite to face four of the classic RPG's most iconic and fearsome monsters. But that's not all: the game introduces gameplay elements directly inspired by D&D mechanics, including the famous 20-sided die (d20), adding an extra layer of unpredictability and excitement to your actions.
If you're already familiar with the Horrified series, you'll feel right at home with the game's core essence: cooperating to overcome puzzle-like obstacles, collecting crucial items, protecting helpless citizens, and, of course, avoiding the relentless monster attacks. Each creature presents its own unique and thematic challenges, drawing you deeper into the rich story and detailed setting of Waterdeep.
And there's more! You choose one of five heroes, each inspired by classic D&D character classes: Wizard, Rogue, Fighter, Cleric, or Bard. Each hero comes with a unique set of abilities that will be vital to your party's success as you move around the board, unraveling mysteries and defeating the horrors lurking in the dungeons. It's time to roll the d20 and show them who's boss!
