Dungeon of Wits

Armed with nothing but insults you stole from Reddit, you set off to explore a dungeon and rid it of monsters. These monsters have insults of their own though, so be careful!

Both yourself and each monster have specific types of insults that you/they are more insecure or confident about. Learn your opponent's insecurities and use them to your advantage, just as your enemies will do to you the deeper you go into the dungeon. Just make sure you don't insult your opponent too specifically, as certain insults can enlist certain comebacks, even if the insult tackles one of their insecurities.


The Deviant (You) is an incompetent loser who enjoys spending far too much time on Reddit. While they're not too proud of their physical capabilities, they do tend to see themselves as above others (just like your average Redditor).


Skeleton Gymbro is a skeleton that severely misses their flesh and muscles. They believe themselves to be generally competent, but fear that they'll never reach their peak again.


Fashionable Spider is the fashion queen. They love making their own clothes and take a lot of pride in their craft. Their ego may not be the best, but they're happy with what God has naturally given them.


Bob is a gluttonous slime monster who knows how to groove. He's a bit shy about his weight but is overall fairly confident about his life.


Confident Worm is just that: confident. They serve as the final boss in The Deviant's journey, and they hold no punches. Good thing for them that this is just a battle of wits, though.
