Description
DROD: Journey to Rooted HoldSwordplay and puzzles combine in this thinking man’s dungeon crawl. It’s simple to learn, with just a handful of commands to master. But the unique gameplay provides an amazing depth. A detailed overhead view shows monsters, obstacles, and other game elements. You have as much time as you like to contemplate your next move. So this is a good game for relaxing, but also terrifically involving once you get started. You’ll be hooked by the story of Beethro and his troublesome nephew, Halph. Our heroes set off on a harmless jaunt, but end up far below the surface, chased by a clownish madman. They begin to uncover a vast, underground bureaucracy, and things only get stranger the further they delve. You’ve got over 350 rooms ahead–each one a singular challenge for you to conquer. A level editor, online features, and enthusiastic player community make this a game you can play for years.

TO all:
If you bought the game yesterday or the day before yesterday, you have to use a different email address. It looks like each email address can only use a coupon once

Thanks for mentioning this issue. This problem was fixed yesterday evening (reported on in yesterday’s comments), so now you don’t need to use a different e-mail address if you already bought a game this week.
