That is the problem with killing the undead. They always return from the dead (again). It is despoiling your nice village with monsters and plagues. Otherwise, you could just leave it.

The village has asked you to go redead it again. Hey, you get to keep the loot.


Developer Note:

This is my entry to the 2023 7 Day Roguelike Challenge. I have been participating regularly since 2014. I try to stay close to traditional with turn-based, procedurally generated maps and permadeath. 

I drew heavily from my 2019 and 2020 games in particular. This time I added:

  • 3 Playable Classes (Hunter, Rogue, Wizard)
  • 5 (mostly) unique skills per class
  • Leveling System
  • Inventory System
  • Lots more hand drawn art
  • Adjustable Difficulty


    I hope you enjoy it and thanks for trying it!

    Thanks for checking it out. I agree! I tried to make each class feel powerful in a unique way. It is a delicate balance that takes iteration. I play tested them quite a bit. I tend to err on the side of easier for 7DRL since I don't anticipate people will spend much time playing so I rather they have a good first experience. 

    I have tried with this game to add a difficulty slider as an option to let people that want to spend more time playing a harder game. Thats something I didn't play test much though so not sure how far it can feasibly go. Maybe Wizard will be a good class to push some higher difficulty.
