A party based Roguelike taking major inspiration from Devil Survivor's single phase of turn based combat and movement. It is still under development and has the basic chassis of how the game will work combat and movement wise.
Created in python as that is my preferred programing for fun language and pushed through pyinstaller. It should work with most modern windows set ups.
The ultimate goal of the game is to have a somewhat customized party of somewhat fragile characters that you can send down into the Labyrinth to explore and find new materials to make items with. Some vague ideas of some random 'plot' lines to follow for the mystery of the labyrinth nothing too deep but it sets up boss list and a reason to visit. If the party ever gets destroyed you will have to have other guild members carry on without having to restart the game.
Features
