Details

Overview

A Game About Opening A Chest is exactly what it says on the tin—but with a twist. You play as a clever soul trying to satisfy a greedy king's insatiable tax demands.

The solution? A legendary chest deep in a dungeon that spits out endless loot.

Every time you open it, a new item lands in your inventory. The catch is figuring out how to turn that random assortment into a fortune before the king's patience runs out.

Developed by Odd Raccoon and published by 2 Left Thumbs, this incremental roguelike launched on October 16, 2026. It's a single-player experience with Steam Achievements and Family Sharing support, and it's available in multiple languages including English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.

Highlights

Strategic Loot Swapping: At the heart of the game is the altar system. You can swap loot pieces to create powerful synergies that accelerate your gold accumulation. It's not just about hoarding—it's about making the right trades at the right time.
Three Distinct Levels: The game features three separate levels, each with its own mechanics and challenges. This keeps the loop fresh and forces you to adapt your strategy as you progress.
Roguelike Incremental Design: Combining the incremental genre with roguelike elements, each run offers a new puzzle of inventory management. You'll need to experiment with different combinations to hit ever-rising goals.

Who It's For

If you enjoy games that make you think while you grind—like inventory management puzzles or score-attack strategy titles—this one's for you. The blend of casual pacing with deep strategic choices means it appeals to both laid-back players and those who love optimizing every move.

The threat of creatures trying to snatch your riches adds a layer of tension that keeps you on your toes.
