Dungeon Crawler Carl

In a flash, Earth is forever changed—a cataclysmic event like no other brings the apocalypse to every doorstep. This isn't your average end-of-the-world scenario. Welcome to the wildly popular and addictive start of a series, Dungeon Crawler Carl, authored by the imaginative Matt Dinniman, who has crafted a unique fusion of dark comedy and high-stakes adventure. This exclusive print edition even includes bonus material that'll leave fans eager for more.

Carl, a Coast Guard veteran, finds his life overturned not just by heartbreak but by planetary annihilation. When he's saddled with his ex-girlfriend's prize-winning cat, Princess Donut, he can't foresee that this feline will become his unlikely partner in a reality where survival is a game broadcasted live to an alien audience. Thrust into a nightmarish dungeon rigged with deadly traps and fantastical challenges, Carl and Princess Donut must navigate their way through a new, brutal reality—a reality that's akin to a video game with levels, power-ups, and monstrous foes, all for the entertainment of intergalactic spectators.

The challenges they face are far from ordinary. Exploding goblins, magical potions, and perilous, drug-dealing llamas populate this ever-changing labyrinth of terror. Each level is a gauntlet of bizarre enemies and unexpected allies, stretching Carl's resilience and wits to their limits. This harrowing adventure is not just about staying alive; it's about capturing the audience's attention and outsmarting the sadistic forces controlling the dungeon.

As Carl and Princess Donut move through the levels, they form an unbreakable bond and uncover the eerie mechanics behind the interstellar reality TV show. Carl soon realises that survival isn't just about brute strength or quick reflexes—it's also about understanding the viewers' twisted desires and leveraging them to his advantage.

This first instalment of Dungeon Crawler Carl provides an exhilarating and often hilarious journey full of unexpected twists and turns, where the boundaries of reality and game blur into a captivating narrative. The exclusive print edition includes the first part of "Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret", a compelling bonus story that offers deeper insights into the dungeon's dark backstage operations.

Enter this dystopian world prepared for the unexpected. In Dungeon Crawler Carl, survival may be optional, but keeping the viewers entertained is mandatory. Welcome to the Dungeon, Crawler. Your adventure is just beginning.
