The legacy of your epic struggle shall be carved into the hearts of those who challenge you like an epitaph. Surpass countless poor fallen souls and make your way to the heretofore unseen top!

TOKOYO: The Tower of Perpetuity is a 2D social rogue-like game set in the titular Tower of Perpetuity, filled with savage monsters and traps, which is procedurally generated every 24 hours. The title has been created by solo indie developer Saebashi under his personal doujin circle //commentout.

Features

An auto-generated dungeon that changes daily

This 2D action game is set in Tokoyo – the Tower of Perpetuity – a constantly changing and devilishly deceptive auto-generated dungeon crawling tower with fiendish monsters and brutal traps. The Tower of Perpetuity is automatically regenerated by the game server every 24 hours (in real-world time), allowing for players around the world to take on the same dungeon each day, and for one day only. Different traps and gimmicks await you each day, and you must compete against other players while battling your way through. The dungeon contains various differing branches, offering a certain degree of free choice and randomization.

Light social elements

Social features utilizing the network have been implemented in the game, in which a gravestone will be placed where a player meets their end, appearing in other players’ games along with their “relics” and “last words”. Take advantage of the different special skills afforded to each character and compete with other players as you struggle to surpass the countless bodies of your less fortunate rivals and fight your way through the impregnable dungeon.

Race to the top against rivals throughout the globe as you aim to top the daily ranking chart. Players on Steam and Nintendo Switch share the same rankings, so if you manage to cement top spot for the day, well it means you are the undisputed king for the day.

Playable Characters

We have collaborated with popular illustrators, streamers, and game designers to bring you custom characters that you can play alongside the five existing playable characters. Expect more official custom characters to be added to the lineup in the future!

Players on Steam will even be able to create their very own characters to control in-game. You have full creative control over how your character looks and his/her backstory, which can be told through the opening/ending stories and dialogues.

Official Custom Characters

The character lineup at launch includes some very special custom characters created by very talented individuals, including Diane the Mighty Goose Cosplayer (by @rilemtwit), Sedeto the twinkle maker (by @Sedeto), and popular Japanese VTuber Magurona (by @ukyo_rst).

We have plans to bolster the lineup with even more custom characters in the future from creators such as

Mota(@nemuke) / kuro(@kuro_ye) / hinyari9(@hinyari9) / Ramune(@ramunepod) / Death mofumofu(@deathmofumofu) / Himari Mochizuki(@HimariMochimoon) / Tsukuru Zutsuki(@ZutsukiTsukuru) / Paroro(@Parorou) / Schippj(@SchipTimmer
