Dreadfort

Game Title: Dreadfort 

Team Members : Endi Rexhepi, Salima Lyouk

Theme Interpretation When you press play in Dreadfort, the gates come down and you're in. The dungeon's always different—the layout shifts, the enemies think differently each time. You're not replaying the same thing; you're starting a new run as another explorer trying to survive the descent. We see it as a record of someone's attempt to get out alive. Every time you start fresh, you're pressing play on a new story. The game asks you to get better at combat, learn enemy patterns, and master survival. That's how you make it through.
