Dear Villagers have announced that developer Artefacts Studio’s The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos has been delayed.
As previously reported, the game is based on Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk; a French series of free audiobooks and comics by John Lang that parody common tabletop RPG tropes and characters. Players lead a party of incompetent adventurers as they explore the vast Dungeon of Naheulbeuk to retrieve an ancient artifact required to fulfill a mysterious prophecy.
Originally slated for August 27th, the new release date was announced in a new gameplay trailer. This shows off the companions players can bring into their party as the eight party member.
“The Minstrel, an obnoxious half-elf bard whose music offers great support to the party. The Paladin, a powerful fighter who serves the Goddess of Justice. For those who played the demo in June, you already met her! The Priestess, a condescending, but skilled healer, who would use the party as much as they’d use her.”
You can find the companions trailer below.

Are you ready to dive into a tactical RPG chock-full of charm, humor and crazy characters?!
They are clumsy, inexperienced and feisty but…they’ll have to endure each other’s company to get the dungeon’s treasure.
However, a feeling of déjà-vu quickly arises…

The Naheulbeuk universe is an original creation by French author John Lang. It started as a very popular audio comedy series parodying role-playing games and heroic fantasy tropes. Now the story is available in English and as a video game for the first time!
