The many faces of Purgatory

From toxic flooded hallways to dark mysterious catacombs, Purgatory takes many forms. Progress through each to unlock the next while avoiding all sorts of dangerous creatures and traps.

Be Cursed!

Each venture out is more dangerous than the last as you are cursed from a pool of over 50+ wild and whacky effects. Fear not though, the choice of ailment is up to you!

Devilish Deals

Grimsly, the grumpy shopkeeper has reluctantly offered up a large collection of relics to aid you, for the right price of course. Collect Undercoins in Purgatory to barter for powerful items to strengthen each run.

Go alone... or with a Party

Think you have what it takes to brave Purgatory on your own? Neither do we! Which is why it's best to go with a group. Jump in with up to 3 friends and experience unique team-based challenges.
