EU Online Dispute Resolution

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR):
https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

We are not obligated and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Liability for Content

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with § 7 Para. 1 TMG. Under §§ 8–10 TMG, we are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored external information or to investigate circumstances indicating illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. Liability is only possible from the point in time at which a concrete infringement becomes known. Upon becoming aware of such legal violations, we will remove the relevant content immediately.

Liability for External Links

Our service may contain links to external third-party websites. We have no influence over their content and therefore cannot assume liability for such external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible.

Illegal content was not identifiable at the time of linking. Permanent monitoring of linked pages is unreasonable without concrete evidence of a violation. Should we become aware of infringements, such links will be removed promptly.

Intellectual Property

All content, graphics, and code associated with Mythenschlag are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Any reproduction, distribution, or modification requires prior written permission from the rights holder.

No tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party cookies are used.
Essential session cookies may be used only when strictly necessary for login security and server operation.

Mythenschlag is a browser-based roguelike where turn-based dungeon crawling and permadeath shape every step into the Black Forest’s depths.

Descent alone, or share your hard‑earned experience with loyal companions. Sanctuaries allow you to cross paths with other players.

Registered adventurers retain their progression, while guest accounts are temporary and expire after 48 hours of inactivity.

My name is Sebastian. I’m developing Mythenschlag independently in my free time, and it’s very much a work in progress. There are no ads and no tracking.

If you have any questions or enquiries, feel free to contact me at sebastian@mythenschlag.com.

Because Mythenschlag is in active development, regular database resets will occur, which means progression will be wiped as new features and updates are introduced.

Thank you for joining the journey. Your feedback and support help shape the world that lies ahead.
