Dungeons of Dreadrock is a puzzle video game created by German indie developer Christoph Minnameier. It is set in a Nordic fantasy world, where the player assumes the role of a young woman who rescues her brother from the eponymous cave system. The game was released in 2022 for Android, iOS, Windows, and Nintendo Switch.

Runs well on modern hardware.
There's not much that can be said about this game. It's a short and sweet puzzle game with nice aesthetics, clever puzzles, light-hearted story and a very cheap price on sale. (It's also available on Mobile if you'd prefer to puzzle out on mobile.) The game has very good puzzle design where it has a very clear and easy to understand progression. There's also hints available for every level which I would recommend against simply because the game is 100 levels and that's it. No live service nonsense here and once you're done, you're done. When playing the game, you should try to solve it and if the plan doesn't work you should focus up and check details in the map for clues. Unusual walls, what might give you the item you're looking for and also the possibility to go forward or back temporarily in order to truly solve the puzzle. It's a fun little game that does everything very well and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Fun little puzzle game, fun narration and great pixel graphics with basic animation. Well worth the price especially when it's on sale. Completed in 3.5 hours with a bit of help from the built-in hints.
Dope little game. Clever puzzles, a hint system (yes this is notable cause for some reason other puzzle games rather let you look stuff up online), cute little story, doesn't overstay its welcome
