Manage a dungeon where you can send your dear monsters to be summoned off in another realm ! This game was very much a victim of overscoping and will definitely need a post jam version. The game lacks a balance pass, visual feedback, audio, UI improvements, and restored cut content (several monsters, some mechanics and many decorative items)

Basic gameplay goes as follows:

- Build a portal to summon monsters
- Minions need chairs to eat or drink
- Make sure to get at least one chair and one cauldron/brewer with your starting money
- You have 2 resources, mana and gold
- Gain mana by letting your minions get summoned on quests, use it to acquire new minions
- Your minions will "obtain" some gold while summoned, you can get that gold by making them spend money on food and drinks
- Build chairs and cauldrons to feed monsters
- Build beds so monsters have a better place to sleep (Less downtime)
- Send monsters on missions to gain mana, monsters will also earn pocket change this way

Post jam bug fixing update:
- Fixed some bugs with building (money would be paid even if you canceled, could get multiple building ghosts)
- Fixed request description box not updating
- Small UI improvements
