The Camp
The Town represents the “Resting” period of the core game loop where all the progress and resources the player has collected can be spent and used.
The player will need to visit the camp often because health items wont be present in the tower dungeon. They’ll need to purchase them in the camp to survive the dungeons escalating difficulty.

Entering it takes the Bindmancer back to the Dungeon Select Screen.
