In the most general terms, a procedurally generated world with permadeath. The term's inspired by Rogue[1].

#18There must be something in the water! I’ve been working on a (very different) chess-like roguelike, and just released the demo. Check it out if you’re a fan of weird chess puzzles, bad chess puns, and Hnefatafl!
