Bound to Rot is a dark fantasy hardcore ARPG. Descend into the Anima, follow the Pulse, and push as deep as you dare for rare loot and brutal combat. Stray from the Pulse and the darkness will collect what you owe.

<h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>Bound to Rot is a dark fantasy action RPG built around one ruthless question: how long do you dare to stay and explore further?</strong></h2><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" >   Drop into a procedurally generated instance, cut through waves of escalating enemies, and fill your inventory with rare gear, but the longer you push your luck, the more dangerous it gets.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >Die, and your character is gone. Everything. Gone.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><h2 class="bb_tag" >  An Anima That Wants You Dead</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >  Explore the Anima, a sprawling, ever-deepening anima driven by a pulse that waits for no one. The pulse lights your way and keeps the darkness at bay, but you choose where it goes next. Every node cleared is a moment of truth: take what you have and walk away, or pick the next path and gamble it all. There is no exit to find. There is only the choice you make before the darkness moves in.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >  </p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Itemization That Actually Matters</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >  Six damage types. Hundreds of affixes. A spatial grid inventory that forces real decisions about what you carry out.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >Items roll on drop and never change, what you find is what you get. Common scrap or a Legendary with a unique red-text mod that rewrites how your build works.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >  </p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Dark, Deterministic Combat</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >  Hit resolution runs through an Entropy System — no pure RNG streaks, no invisible dice rolls. Accuracy, evasion, and per-entity entropy values produce combat that feels fair even when it kills you.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >  </p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Seasonal Ladders</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >  Every season wipes the slate. Climb the competitive ladder, race to depth, and carve your name into the rankings before the reset erases everything and the cycle begins again.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >  </p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Features</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Permadeath! lose your character, not just your loot</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Extract between nodes or risk it all pushing deeper</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >PoE-style Delve with branching node choices and enemy level previews</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Diablo II-inspired itemization: five rarity tiers, prefix/suffix affixes, spatial inventory</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Six damage types with distinct mechanics (Burning, Chain Lightning, Freeze, Rot)</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Deterministic hit system, no streaky RNG</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Seasonal resets with competitive ladders</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Dark fantasy gothic aesthetic</p></li></ul>
