Explore mysterious island inspired by slavic mythology

Roguelike with survival-sandbox elements, created in the Seven day roguelike challenge features classic roguelike experience and style blended with survival elements like crafting, enchantment, safe-zone with grindable materials and mining. With multiple references to slavic folklore monsters.

Dive into cursed world to seek horrors that turned gods away from humanity.

After years of mischance epidemic and global famine, humanity has found a reason why gods' blessings became malediction. There was a king of old times who turned to necromancy to unnaturally prolong his enjoyment of wealth and power, no one even remembers name of his kingdom anymore but gods. With years his kingdom ended but his hunger rose. You were a part of hero team that sailed away to find the island where his death is hidden, but magical storm destroyed your ship and only a small group of survivors could reach secret island and build shelter on its surface.

World

The game world has six levels :

1. Surface – a safe overworld where the adventure begins
2. Caves - mildly dangerous depth filled with cowardly spiders and immovable totems but rich in copper.
3. Dungeon - ruins of ancient reptile civilization
4. Deep caves- here undead is guarding iron mines
5. Hell dungeon - bastion built by necromancer's minions to plan their invasion
6. Deathworld - place where you do not belong

There, on invisible paths, are traces of unseen beasts...

Two powerful bosses guard the deeper parts of the world: 

Eyeslash (inspired by Viy)
Located in the third level - Dungeon.
This terrifying monster guards the only passage into the Deep Caves.
Beware of their heartrending gaze.

Necromancer monarch (inspired by Koshchei)
Located in the sixth level - Deathworld.
The final challenge of the game.
Perish or die fighting for the fate of humanity.
