GO DIE IN A HOLE

Demo trailer: https://youtu.be/pLpF8yBGvFg

A dead god lies dreaming beneath Ribblehead.
A comet sighting brings with it the glory of the Fifth World.
Star-crazed cultists call to the Constellation Starfish.
Explore, sneak, loot, survive, escape.
Go die in a hole.

Simulationist dungeon delving:

• Procedurally generated dungeon levels
• Realistic light-levels and stealth
• Intricate impact and object-dragging sound system
• Opponents can detect noise, your light-sources, etc
• Hardcore old-school OSR D&D gameplay
• Detailed main-hand and off-hand inventory system with intuitive controls
• Hundreds of voice lines by talented voice actors

Some inspiration touchstones:

• Thief: the Dark Project
• Amnesia: The Dark Descent
• Pathways Into Darkness
• Lost In Vivo
• Monstrum
• Receiver
• Hellish Quart
• SCP Foundation

The project is GPLv3 open-source and the intention is to make a platform for anyone to make their own adventures in this system without reinventing the wheel.

Two and a half years in the making, so far. Finally have something decent to show.
