In XIII century citizens of small town named Kłodzko (formerly known as Glatz or Cladzco) started expanding their basements. After some time, they managed to create complex network of rooms, halls and tunnels. In this underground city, they had shops, wells, taverns, counting rooms, doctor’s office and… prison.
\nCriminals captured and sent to the prison were then trailed in court, and often treated with appropriate kindness by the executioners.
\nYou are one of those lucky prisoners! Can you escape from the underground maze? How many ways of escaping can you find? And are you ready to die, like a lot?
\nXIII Feet Underground is RPG-like game, with roguelike mechanics.\nExplore Kłodzko’s underground city, interact with it’s citizens, reveal dark secrets of people.\nThere are multiple ways of reaching the end.\nBut watch out! You should not trust everybody!
\nKeyboard (WASD for walking)

\nQuite an interesting topic (it was interesting to read about your topic on Google :D) and the game plot is no less interesting! I also liked the level design!
\nThe font does not seem very clear, but the voice accompaniment solves this issue. It was quite interesting to play, I was pleased with the versatility of the result!
\nIt was nice to see a friend from prison in the brewery :D, but unfortunately I couldn’t find a way to infect the outside water so that people could buy water from the well merchant in the dungeon. I also did not understand the purpose of the elixir, but I think there should have been a lot of interesting things :)
\nBeautiful graphics, simple and intuitive.
\nIt seemed to me that the sound continues to play even after the end of the dialogue, it would be good to fix it. It feels like sometimes I can’t start the game because the movement buttons are unresponsive…
\nSounds like good potential for story expansion to me… I enjoyed the game!
\nThanks for game!

\nCan’t believe you fit all this in, text and raster art can be so heavy. Funny little story with multiple endings, easy to play, lots of fun. Good stuff.

Pleasant oldschool visuals, simple controls, and fits the theme well. The text-to-speech was very impressive! Nice job.

\nThe pixel graphics were good, the rooms and exploring linked together well.
\nWent into the Innkeeper’s stash and found all the items I needed after picking them up from other places, which made me laugh.
\nThe speech was neat. Only thing I would change is making the WASD keys work several at a time, I seemed to only be able to go in one direction, not diagonally.
\nNicely done.

\nFun little adventure game here.\nWith a little bit of voice acting as well!
\nSome humour, nice characters, tbh it’s really well done.
\nNice one!

Maybe it’s ok for such small game.\nGood job!
