The Dungeons of Moria

Prepare well.
Descend carefully.
Defeat the Balrog.

Moria is a single-player dungeon simulation where preparation matters as much as courage. Build a character, provision in town, and brave a living maze of monsters, magic, traps, and treasure.

  1. 01

    Provision in town

    Choose your race and class, then buy food, light, armor, weapons, and the means to escape.

  2. 02

    Learn the dark

    Fight from corridors, search for hidden doors, identify strange objects, and know when to retreat.

  3. 03

    Go all the way down

    Grow strong enough to reach the deepest levels and challenge the Balrog for a royal victory.
