Narratively: How does the tower dungeon function?

What is the tower?

The Dungeon Tower is a malevolent entity that seeks worship through those giving into it. It seeks to strip its cultists and prisoners of agency and subject them to an eternal pleasure. It feeds and grows from the pleasure and base-desires of its victims. It’s the true Antagonist of this story.

It creates manifestations to communicate with others. In the case of the Bindmancer it creates a “Villainess” who’s a “Dark Mirror” to the Deer Leader. Something the Bindmancer can fight towards defeating. - This is not initially clear at the start of the game but becomes more apparent the higher the Bindmancer climbs the tower.

The towers true origin and age is unknown. The tower might of only been there a year ago, it might of been there forever. It has the ability to fog peoples memory of its existence past the short-term present. Which is how it keeps itself from being invaded.

How does this entity function?

The dungeon demands adulthood and consent before heroes can enter it. There’s a magical barrier at the front door that doesn’t allow the unwilling or children’s to pass through.
Every prisoner is an adventurer who consented can fell victim to the dangers of the dungeon.
1. The generic prisoners found in each dungeon level are no-name adventurers who fell quickly to the dungeon and need rescue.
2. The adventurers that have lore written about them got much further and have a relationship to the Bindmancer heroine.
The Dungeon offers adventure and riches but it peers into the minds of those who enters to know what their inner most kinky desire is, then traps them upon it.
It collects the magical energies made from the pleasure and lust of these captives and uses it to make the itself (The tower) stronger.

What is it’s personality and characterization like?

The Dungeon Tower and the visual characters and manifestations it takes on is consistently:

Self Confident & in Control - Because as an entity it’s very powerful. It’s the literal tower.

Polite - It has no use for vulgar speech.

Flirting - It’s always trying to convert those inside the tower to give into their desires (And thusly, feed the tower.)

Holds others in Admiration - Every victory from a hero in the dungeon is praised. Because it only means the fall of the hero will be all the more potent when it happens.

For when the hero does fall, it admires their squirming, helpless state as it feeds from them.

Hungry - It always wants new cultists and new prisoners. More cute mortals stripped of agency and giving into pleasure.

How is the tower ultimately defeated?

The tower can only be defeated by the protagonist completely refusing what it offers: Which is having your agency taken away from you and giving into pleasure and inner desires without consideration for responsibility or others.

Defeating the tower is done through caring about others (The other heroes) and taking on responsibility and agency.

Once the Bindmancer accepts this fully and refutes the towers final offer, the Tower Entity is defeated.

Captured Heroes and Their Stories

Throughout the adventure the Bindmancer will find lore about each of their now defunct adventuring team who ventured into the dungeon to try and take out the Pleasure Demoness who resides at the top of the tower.

Each captured hero is given 5 levels where the lore surrounding them is recovered explaining how they became trapped and contained by giving into their inner desires and losing agency. The beats should generally go:

Explain their motivation.
Explain their initial hurdles or triumphs.
Explain how they where trapped / captured.
Explain the pleasurable peril they encountered.
Explain their inner desire and why they cannot leave.

Intro Cutscene Writing:

My tower stands eternal as a temptation to those who dare to enter it. A mighty structure of earthly desires and magical will.

Everyone has their reasons to pass through the gate and enter inside. Be it for glory or greed, righteousness or lust. Or even once in a while a mission of mercy.

And you. Do you think you have the willpower to best the temptations within this tower little one? Can you rescue all those who you hold dear?

Then simply pass through the gate, for no one who enters this Tower does so without consenting to all the pleasures and consciences that lurk within.

For my Tower stands eternal, here to reveal to those who enter who they truly are…
