Eternal Seeker: Fugue in the Caverns of Doom by Comtemno

[raw]
made by Comtemno for LD15 (COMPO)
By Comtemno
For Ludum Dare 15

Edit 2: I updated the post-compo version, which fixes many bugs (again) and adds new content; however, the game is much more difficult. Yet, you can hold H key while you are away from enemies to regenerate; alternatively, you can edit nativedata.txt to balance the game.

General edit: I edited this page with a new version of the game, partially allowing you to edit the game and fixing most of the bugs in the compo version. You can play it if you wish to play with some more content; but beware the potions; they can be really punishing or rewarding.

Note edit: The game can be played in full screen mode if you press F4!

#Information:

Everyone knows that caverns lead to the center of the world. The fact is, not everyone wants to go to the center of the world. Actually, only the most eccentric people in the human society want to see the center of the world. But the way to the center of the world is full of dangers, traps, monsters from other universes, altars, pillars of magic, and, most importantly, as every adventurer should meet at least one, cursed shops of cursed shopkeepers.

Play as the Gentleman Assassin, Modern Barbarian, Retired Commander or Redoubtable Dreamer in their quest to reach to the center of the world!

Find and equip over 1700 items!

Fight against many monsters and critters including murderous rats, bats, demons, vampires, and orcs (and the hideous A Bao A Qu!)!

Listen to a great soundtrack which has only one song!

Hear the sound effects generated using sfxr!

Die tens of times before you understand what's going on!

Witness the power of the procedural generation algorithm which generates caves that look like real caves!

Play...
