The dynamic legend and narrative bar are really great additions to roguelikes. Did you have inspiration for these things? I don't know that I've seen either of them done before.

Brogue has a dynamic legend. I've not seen a narrative like that, though.

I found the dynamic lighting effects quite impressive, and I like the use of proportional text for the story rather than more monospace. Habits from other roguelikes make me keep looking for an inventory and the ability to move diagonally, but neither one actually seems necessary, just unexpectedly missing for a roguelike. Edit: "Achievements: 0 gold found 1 secret gold stashes found". So, I found one secret gold sta…

I believe you were mugged. By the mugger! He was wandering around outside the castle with the dog. I found 3 gold spots, but interacted with the mugger twice and finished with 1 gold, so I'm betting I got pick pocketed or something.

awesome game! but is it just me, or is it impossible to defeat the murderer? played it 3 times and i get killed everytime by the murderer. what did i miss?

Pick up the plate armor, he'll barely score any damage on you. It looks like `[` and is in the dungeon somewhere (in addition to chain mail, which looks like `[` as well).

Use the sword. The axe seems to fail to hit a lot of times. The sword on the other hand seems to be far more imbalanced for gameplay.

Ah, I don't remember it from Brogue but it has been a while since I played it.
