You are a lone adventurer in a strange world, where geometry does
|
|
not work in the expected way. Gather as much treasure as you can
|
|
before the nasty monsters get you. Explore several different worlds,
|
|
each with its own unique treasures, enemies, and terrain obstacles.
|
|
Your quest is to find the legendary treasure, the Orbs of Yendor.
|
|
Collect one of them to win! Or just ignore your quest and collect
|
|
smaller treasures.
|
|
|
|
The twist is the unique, unusual geometry of the world: it is one
|
|
of just few games which takes place on the hyperbolic plane. Witness
|
|
a grid composed of hexagons and heptagons, straight lines which
|
|
seem to be parallel, but then they diverge and never cross, triangles
|
|
whose angles add up to less than 180 degrees, how extremely unlikely
|
|
is it to reach the same place twice, and how the world seems to be
|
|
rotated when you do return. All this matters for the gameplay. The
|
|
game is inspired by the roguelike genre (although in a very minimalist
|
|
way), works of M. C. Escher, and by puzzle games such as Deadly
|
|
Rooms of Death.
