== Rules ==
These are the rules that apply to the game. These rules are to be followed inside the entire game area!

* Do NOT alter any blocks unless this is specifically permitted
** This includes placing and breaking blocks, as well as changing block states eg flipping doors or trapdoors, changing repeaters or comparators, etc.
** You are allowed to press any buttons and/or levers, pressure plates, etc
** You may ofc place your deck in the deck input slot and break it in the deck output slot
** When you have claimed a player cubby, you may freely build inside it, but you may NOT break the walls, floor, ceiling, or victory token input chest
* Do NOT litter in the dungeon
** Dont throw items randomly on the ground in the dungeon - obv items on the ground in the dungeon after you died in there are fine
** If you dont need/want a specific loot/food item, just dont take it from the barrel/chest/inventory
** Not having to wait for items to despawn allows for a much faster reset time after successful runs
* Do NOT harm Ravagers, Evokers or Skeletons in the dungeon
** These mobs are in the dungeon on purpose and are annoying to replace
** Please report it to the game builders if you see a ravager, evoker or skeleton die, so we can replace them
** You are allowed to hurt and kill other mobs (eg slimes or spiders) if you encounter them
* You may only carry specific Dogged Out Dungeon items, identifiable by the magenta [DO] tag in the item name, into the dungeon
** Chests as well as access to your ender chest are provided in the respawn room to put all other items from your inventory
** This applies to all slots in your inventory, including armor, hotbar and offhand
* You may only take specific Dogged Out Dungeon items into the Victory Hall (identifiable by the magenta [DO] tag)
** All other items must be dropped into the black hole in front of the Victory Hall entrace
* You are NOT allowed to copy, duplicate or in any way reproduce items from this game unless as momentos or decoration
** Do NOT copy, duplicate or reproduce Chips, Credits, official [DO] items or Cards! Doing so defeats the purpose of the game and for the most part only makes your own experience worse
* Do NOT sell Chips, Credits, official [DO] items or Cards for DCD
** Trading cards or [DO] items with other players is allowed and encouraged as long as both parties agree that the trade is fair
* Enter the dungeon solo
** Dont take multiple people into the dungeon at once. The game is not designed for this!
** The only exception to this is if it is specifically permitted or requested by the game builders (XPModder, Its_Nars, viBEEng)
* Do NOT attempt to use empty Decks or Decks containing non-card items
** A Deck, defined as a shulker box for holding cards for this game, MUST contain at least one card to play the game
** Do not put other items into your deck and do not insert shulkers containing items that are not cards into the input slot
* Please turn off player buffs with '''/playerbuffs toggle''' while playing the game, so they cannot interfere with gameplay

== Playing the game ==
[[File:DO-Entrance.png|thumb]]
[[File:DO-Entrance-Hall.png|thumb]]
To play the game go to the game entrance directly opposite Cyber Ball in Canine Kingdom and use the drop in the large building to drop into the entrance area.
Proceed through the entrance hall into the embarkation area.

'''You have never played this game before and do not have a Deck?'''

Then you can get your first starting Deck at the front of the Embarkation Area. 
At the very beginning of the Embarkation Area on the west wall is a button which, when pressed, will give you a starter Deck. 
Please only take one Deck per player. If you have somehow permanently lost all your cards and wish to play the game again, you may take another starter deck. If you wish to build yourself more then one deck, you can use any shulker box as the container for your deck as long as the shulker only contains Dogged Out cards. Empty named and colored deck shulkers are also available on request from the game builders XPModder, Its_Nars and viBEEng.

== Embarkation Area ==
[[File:DO-Embarkation-Area.png|thumb]]
[[File:DO-Embarkation-Area3.png|thumb]]
[[File:DO-Respawn-Room1.png|thumb]]
The first half of the first room contains several buttons on the east side of the room to test your audio settings. 
It is highly recommended to take a few moments to press each button and check if you can properly hear the sound. 
While playing the game without hearing the sounds is possible, it would take away a lot of the immersion as well as hints that may be important for gameplay. 
 
The second half of the first room contains the game activity light and the deck handling system. 
If the game activity light is ON, the game is ready to be played. If the light is OFF, the game is currently in progress or in its reset phase and cannot be started at this point. In this case you may want to wait or return at a later time when the game is ready. 
 
When the game is ready you can start a run by placing your deck in the deck input slot. Place the shulker box that is your deck against the back wall of the input slot. 
Once a deck is inserted the input slot will automatically close with a red glass and the game will begin taking the cards from your deck. At this point the door to the respawn room will also open. 
When you are ready proceed into the respawn room. 
 
BEFORE proceeding into the next room, take all items out of your inventory, hotbar, offhand and armor slots and place them in the provided chests or in the ender chest and set your spawn in the bed located in this room. 
Double check that '''your inventory is completely empty with the exception of [DO] tagged items''' and that '''your spawn is set in this room''' before proceeding! 
 
Now enter the difficulty selector. The entrance doors will close behind you. 
Select your difficulty by pressing the corresponding button on the wall. 
Note that the difficulty selection only effects the location of the Bounty you will receive and the rewards at the end of the game. You can always explore the entire dungeon regardless of difficulty. 
Once the difficulty is selected, the final entrance door to the dungeon will open. 
 
You can now proceed into the final room of the Embarkation Area and into the dungeon itself! 
In the final room your Bounty will drop in the center of the room. '''Do not forget to pick it up!''' 
 
== The Dungeon ==
You will now travel through the rift into the dungeon itself. The dungeon consists of a number of alien environments connected via the rift. 
Your task is to find your Bounty location, drop off your Bounty and return through the rift to the victory hall! 
While in the dungeon you will constantly hear your heartbeat, slow at first and getting faster and faster as you spend time in the dungeon and make noise. 
Cards from your deck will be played in regular intervals during your entire time in the dungeon, or until all cards have been played. 
The effects each card gives will be announced through short sound effects. 
Loot and Food may be found in any block with an inventory inside the dungeon. 
Your Bounty will guide the way and needs to be dropped off in a specific location! 
But beware! Beasts are roaming everywhere and the area may also not be free of traps! 
If you have successfully dropped off your Bounty, return back to the rift through which you entered the dungeon, but continue straight into the return area and not around the corner to the embarkation area. 
Empty your inventory except any [DO] tagged items you want to keep into the black hole and finally press the button on the wall to open the entrance to the victory hall! 
Please note that this door will only open when you have successfully dropped off your Bounty in the correct location! 
 
== Victory Hall ==
[[File:DO-Victory-Hall.png|thumb]]
'''Congratulations!''' 
If you have made it to the Victory Hall you have successfully completed your run! 
To claim your reward you may now choose between Victory Tokens or a card. Press the button on the east wall corresponding to your choice. 
If you chose Victory Tokens, these will be delivered into the reward barrel to the right of the buttons. 
If you chose Cards, 4 cards will be revealed from which you may pick one. 
To pick a card, go to its location and press the button on the floor directly in front of the card. 
After picking your card it will be delivered to the reward barrel. 
Please note that it may take a few seconds for your reward to arrive in the barrel. '''Be patient!''' 
Once your reward has arrived, pick it up and continue through the exit tunnel at the end of the Victory Hall. This tunnel will bring you back to the respawn room in the Embarkation Area. 
A minecart towards the waiting room will arrive when you enter the respawn room. 
'''Do not forget your items in the respawn room!''' 
 
== When you die inside the dungeon ==
[[File:DO-Respawn-Room3.png|thumb]]
When you die inside the dungeon this marks the end of your run and you should respawn in the respawn room of the Embarkation Area. 
Press the red button above the ender chest to end the run. 
A minecart towards the waiting room will arrive when you press this button. 
'''Do not forget your items in the respawn room!''' 
 
== After your run ==
[[File:DO-Reset-Room2.png|thumb]]
[[File:DO-Reset-Room3.png|thumb]]
After you completed a run you enter the minecart available at the respawn room. The minecart will automatically start when entered. 
The minecart will take you to the waiting room while the game begins to reset itself for the next run! 
Once all cards have been returned to your deck, it will be placed in the deck return slot from where you may take it. 
Please note that it may take a little while to return all your cards to your deck, especially when you died very quickly, so be patient. 
 
'''Please note that this reset will take 5 minutes and a new run cannot be started during this time! '''
You may leave the game and/or Canine Kingdom once you have taken your Deck from the waiting room. 
When the reset is complete, the copper bulb in the Waiting Room, as well as the lamps in the Embarkation Area and above the shop entrance will turn on, indicating that the game is ready for another run.

== Design and Terminology ==
The cards are blue banners with special names and the patterns on the banner showcases the cards effects and attributes.

The border of the card shows the rarity and if it is a permanent or normal card. A light gray border signifies a common card, a lime border signifies a uncommon card and a light blue border signifies a rare card. If the border is indented (wavy), the card is '''permanent'''. Permanent cards are played immediately at the beginning of the run while all other cards are played slowly over time during the run at regular intervals.

If the background of the card features a light blue gradient, the card is '''ethereal''', meaning that the card is used up when played. When a ethereal card is played during your run, you will '''not''' get that card back in your deck at the end of the run. If you have an ethereal card in your deck, but the card is not actually played during your run (eg because your run ended before it was played) the card will be returned to your deck with all your other cards.

The other patterns on the card showcase the effects of the card.
