About Almost Dr: PhD Roguelike

Finish your PhD, you're Almost Dr. ALMOST DR is a turn-based d20 roguelite where your enemies aren't dragons: they're every anxiety that stands between you and "Doctor." Roll the dice, build a broken loadout, and beat your demons. Compete on leaderboards including 'highest hit' and 'most healing done', and see the loadouts others use to set records! ==== ROLL THE D20 ==== Real tabletop combat. Every attack is a d20 roll — from fumbles to natural-20 crits. Read each boss's intent and raise your Shield before they attack you. Luck gets you in the door; strategy gets you the degree. === FACE 25 BOSSES === Face the Burnout Beast, outwit the Comparison Trap, survive Final Chapter Dread, and stare down THE DEFENSE. Each of 25 hand-crafted bosses is themed on a genuine PhD terror — learn their patterns and turn your worst fears into loot. === BUILD A UNIQUE LOADOUT === • 8 classes — from The Eternal Candidate to The Caffeinated Postdoc, each with its own playstyle • 5 supervisors who reshape your whole run • 76 items and 35 relics to draft, stack, and combo • FUSE two legendaries into one cross-slot monster of an item — chase the build that shouldn't exist === EVERY RUN IS DIFFERENT === • 28 run-changing events that force real decisions • 8 academic seasons rewrite the rules for entirely different run experiences • Rest, shop, upgrade your items, and gather potions • Every PhD goes off the rails differently === GO ENDLESS === Cleared the run? Descend into ENDLESS where bosses escalate stacked with elite modifiers. How deep can you go before burnout wins? === EARN INSIGHT, UNLOCK EVERYTHING === Every run earns Insight. Spend it to unlock new classes and supervisors, crack open item cases, and grow your arsenal run after run. Retro CRT visuals. Pixel-pink terminal vibes... The existential dread of academia made fun: you're Almost Dr.
