The Dungeon is vast and full of horrors...

The doorway to the Dungeon yawns darkly before you like the maw of some gargantuan creature. You cross the ominous threshold and advance into the first of many dark and dangerous tunnels. Traps, hazards and monstrous adversaries await inside...

...and you are very small.

Whatever your motives and aspirations, you know that a small creature such as yourself has no chance of surviving the Dungeon without help. For this reason you have secured the services of some adventuring Companions! What dangers await you? Will you and your Party survive, or are you destined to get… SQUISHED?

Three squishy little guys.

What is Squish?

Squish! is a solo / co-operative dungeon crawl journaling game in which you take on the role of a small and very squishy little character, trying to traverse a dungeon.
In order to survive you'll have to recruit a number of Companions, be they Adventurers from the outside world or some of the Dungeon's own Denizens.
You'll move through the Dungeon by rolling dice and going forwards or backwards on a list of narrative prompts. Your Companions will spend points from their limited Stat pools or perform Luck Rolls to attempt their various feats throughout your journey.

A pixie finds some treasure.

Squish! includes a treasure trove of roll tables which you'll be using to generate Companions, Spells, Magic Items, and more. All you need to play is the game document, a handful of six-sided dice and some note-keeping materials, but Squish! also provides Character and Companion Sheets.

Unlocked with Passkey

Squish! is based on the Passkey System, and heavily inspired by Tim Hutchings' Thousand Year Old Vampire, as well as the Fighting Fantasy series of adventure game-books, created by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone.
