Paper Dungeon - Deep Down

We’re very happy to share the first proper interview about Paper Dungeon – Deep Down and our studio, NiBo Games.

A big thank you to Buffgaming for giving us the opportunity to talk about how our game came to be, what inspires us, how we develop it, and our thoughts on the current state of the gaming industry.

Mnogo vam hvala!

The interview is in Serbian, but built-in translation features in modern browsers can surely translate it into any language, so if you’re interested or just a bit bored between all the Christmas food and family visits, enjoy the read.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone! Get ready for 2026, you’ll be seeing much more of our game next year.

Paper Dungeon – Deep Down, un dungeon crawler clasic cu accente de horror psihologic Paper Dungeon – Deep Down este unul dintre acele proiecte indie care nu încearcă să reinventeze genul, ci să îl înțeleagă și să îl ducă mai departe cu respect.

People often say that PR for indie games is difficult, and we agree. But after the past month, which started with us creating and sending out a press kit announcing our game to many smaller gaming media outlets around the world, we’re happy to say that it’s not impossible. It just takes time, dedication, and a real focus on different gaming markets across the globe.

With that said, here’s another article about Paper Dungeon - Deep Down, this time from the beautiful country of Vietnam. We highly recommend visiting, especially via a cross-country motorcycle tour, which lets you experience Vietnam in all its beauty.

Our sincere thanks to Gamelade for taking the time to write such a great article, even during the busy Game Awards period, which always brings a flood of gaming news everyone wants to read about 🙂

Xin chân thành cảm ơn!
