I have -pretty- good personal traditional roguelike chops, having started with IMORIA in 1991 at UW Seattle.

Everything here felt high quality for a roguelike in this old school vein.

I was especially pleased with the planning encouraged by being able to partially see through the walls.  It's nearly presently-clear but not *quite* how to plan to get things that are distant, and one's guesswork gets better at this sub-skill the more times one plays.

The fact that it wasn't known beforehand how strong the enemy types were, was a definite plus in a procedural roguelike where you're not supposed to pick up the hints except gradually.

So i have heavy duty respect for this game.  Gave it high marks all-over.

Gave you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.

I mean, I died before getting down to level 5 but the point of a jam rating is can a person figure out -intent- i think mostly.  Would a better player at it than me feel at home, that's a big yes.

Cheers!
