Try a quirky prologue free on Steam now. The RPG: My First Dungeon Smells is out June 25.
Steam has just released a short prologue entitled The RPG: My First Dungeon Smells as a free download. Available since June 25, 2025, the opening chapter serves as a quirky appetizer to the full game and importantly, any save file transfers when the full release arrives .
Developed and published by Catoptric Games (via creator Dionysus Acroreites), this mini‑adventure offers a light‑hearted take on dungeon‑crawling. Players enter with only a stick and torch into a stinky underground labyrinth, discovering that healing is done by wedging bread into wounds, loot sells by weight, and the main boss dragon is glitchy.
What you should know before entering the dungeon
This free chapter isn’t a throwaway demo, it’s an “introductory short chapter” with hours of content, per SteamDB and community posts. All progress carries over to the full version when it launches. Early Steam reviews describe it as “one of the most enjoyable dungeon crawler games I’ve ever played”.
Freebie available from june 25
The offer launched June 25 (UTC) and remains free indefinitely, serving as a permanent prologue. Players are encouraged to wishlist the full game to support its development and ensure visibility.
