Sonder is a dark fantasy town and dungeon game for your phone. You build a walled town of eleven buildings, you pick who goes in, and you send your heroes to farm, delve dungeons and climb a Tower of twelve floors. Once the fight starts, they decide. Every hero walks in with a past and nine traits of their own, and those traits choose when they charge, heal, loot or run.
Sonder is in closed alpha. It is free on mobile and access is by invite. Join the alpha on playsonder.app.

The pillars

Heroes with a mind of their own

Nine traits, a past and a memory. Two heroes of the same race and class can make opposite choices in the same fight.

A town to build

Eleven buildings on a walled island. Peasants keep the workshops running and your heroes live there between runs.

Dungeons and loot

Send a party of four into a dungeon you watch live, or a farm run in the background. Bring back gold, chests and plans.

The Tower

Twelve floors cleared in order, three bosses, and one global leaderboard.

How a day in Sonder goes

1

Build the town

Your town is home. Peasants work the Trades, your heroes rest, train and make friends, and the cemetery is where the fallen come back.
2

Farm and delve

Scouts find dungeons that stay open for a few hours. Pick the party and their gear, then send them in.
3

Watch them choose

Inside, you do not steer. Each hero reads the fight through their own personality and acts on it.
4

Loot, craft and climb

Workshops turn what your heroes bring back into gear. Then you take the strongest party up the Tower.
