Break Out Of Hareka's Underground (Boohu) is a roguelike game mainly inspired from Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and its tavern, with some ideas from Brogue, but aiming for very short games, almost no character building, and a simplified inventory.
Every year, the elders send someone to collect medicinal simella plants in the Underground. This year, the honor fell upon you, and so here you are. According to the elders, deep in the Underground, magical stairs will lead you back to your village. Along the way, you will collect simellas, as well as various items that will help you deal with monsters, which you may fight or flee...
