Dungeon game showCrawler: Your habits, broadcast live from a dungeon.
Three of five in the can. The highlights get cut from those.
Crawler is a habit tracker played as a game show. A run of habits arrives each morning and an announcer calls it like live TV. Show up and the viewers come. Every two weeks, you go down a floor.
How a day works
Tell the show what you're known for. Each morning, five habits are drawn to match.
Do what you can. Every one earns views.
Views raise your level. Levels raise your standing, from Unwatched to Legend.
A fresh start every two weeks
Each floor lasts 14 days, with a target to hit. Hit it or not, you go down to a new floor. A bad week can't end the game.
Sponsors
Keep a habit for seven days and a made-up brand sponsors it, paying a bonus every time. Miss three days and they drop it. The habit lost its sponsor. You didn't fail.
An announcer who's on your side
The announcer is entertained by you, never disappointed in you. A missed day is dead air: a production problem, not a character flaw.
Boxes you earn, never buy
Finishing a day drops a box. How good it is depends on how much you did, not on luck. Boxes are never sold.

Questions
Is anyone actually watching?
No. The audience is fictional. There's no server, no social feed and no other users.
Can I buy boxes?
No. Boxes are earned by doing habits. There's no currency and no box opens with money.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything stays on your phone and the app works offline.
Is this therapy?
No. Crawleruses behavioural activation, a method from psychology, but it doesn't diagnose or treat anything. How the method works.
