Back to Dungeon
An oathbound warrior on the Ashen March, facing the Gatewarden
Playtest

Oathforge

A grounded dark-fantasy action RPG. Choose one of twelve callings, forge a signature skill from Oath Link runes, and walk the Ashen March to the Gatewarden. This is an unfinished playtest build, and it is looking for the parts that are not fun yet.

Get the launcher — 72 MB

The launcher fetches the current build, checks it against the published checksum, and puts it in place. Every time you open it after that, it updates you to the newest build instead of making you download the whole game again — and it keeps your saves and settings across updates.

Or download the full build 0.81 GB

Unzip anywhere, then run OathForge\DungeonARPG.exe. There is no installer and nothing is written outside the folder you unzip it into. Delete the folder to uninstall.

Windows will warn you. That is expected.

You will see a blue “Windows protected your PC” screen saying the publisher is unknown. Click More info, then Run anyway. Your browser may warn about the download for the same reason.

The honest explanation: Windows only trusts an application when its author has bought a code signing certificate from an authority Microsoft recognises, and Dungeon has not bought one for this build yet. Owning dungeon.games does not cover it, because that certificate vouches for the website rather than for the file you just downloaded. Until we buy one, every copy of Oathforge shows that warning, and anyone telling you otherwise about any download is worth ignoring. The launcher is unsigned for the same reason and shows the same screen.

What the launcher does do is check what it downloads. Every build it installs is verified against the SHA-256 checksum published in the release manifest it fetches over HTTPS, so a build altered in transit is refused rather than installed. That is a different guarantee from Windows knowing who we are, and it is the one we can give you today.

Send the session back

In Settings there is a Share playtest reports option. It is off by default. Turning it on sends one anonymous summary per session when you quit: which calling you picked, how far you got, how long things took, and where you died. No name, no account, no file paths, nothing typed. It is the only way we find out where the game loses people.

The parts worth telling us in your own words are simpler than a bug report: where were you confused, where were you bored, and what was the best moment. Those go in Discord.

What you need

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, a graphics card from roughly the last six years, and about 3 GB free after unzipping. Mouse and keyboard: there is no gamepad support yet. It runs offline and does not need an account, a wallet, or a sign-in.
