A fork of nethack with semi-multiplayer features and other customizations. (An in-heavy-development fork version is at https://github.com/computersciencehouse/bingehack4 )
I accidentally attacked a floating eye so I was frozen, almost immediately i was attacked by wolf cubs and killed, I went into explore mode and essentially respawned and killed the wolves and kept playing.
This is what explore mode /is/. Explore mode basically is, "I died, but I want to keep playing. Let's just keep playing the game, except now we won't keep score".
