Introduction

Kuraybot is an online monster recruiting 2D roguelite game, heavily inspired by Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Palworld, Shin Megami Tensei, Dragon Quest Monsters and Monster Rancher, although Kuraybot remains vastly different from each one of those inspirations; I took mechanics I liked, and expanded on them, creating my own in the process too.

The game is built around those core mechanics;

• Making and managing a base (inspiration: Palworld)

• Creatures interacting with each other/living within said base (life simulation similar to Miitopia / Tomodachi Life)

• Taking jobs/missions to do in dungeons (inspiration: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon)

• Exploring and clearing floors of dungeons (both randomly generated and static alike), recruiting enemies, getting loot, etc...

• Trading creatures with players (multiplayer economy) and more (other online features)

More info should come at the end of 2025, and an online alpha release in 2026.

A story (story mode) playable even offline within the game is also planned, but will be implemented after the game is ready for it (estimations for the first story mode chapter are 2027~2028).

The game is planned to be premium on Steam, not free to play, but the decision may change. The goal is to monetize this project in a way that would ensure passive income long-term, while avoiding predatory monetizations/P2W as much as possible.

This is a passion project, a dream game meant to be constantly worked on (new contents/expansions) and updated.

You can already get some creatures of the game through our Discord server by interacting with the bot; whenever the game is in your hands, you'll just have to connect with your discord account to link it to your in-game account, to receive all the creatures you've collected on Discord!
