Featured Roguelike: Lost_Labyrinth

Lost_Labyrinth is a coffeebreak roguelike, designed to be played in 10 to 20 minutes.

Some of its features are:

immense number of character "options/traits/skills" (no character "classes"); point-based character generation; each character requires his own survival strategy.
game focus on exploration instead of killing monsters; experience is gained by reaching a new dungeon level and consists of an increase in a character attribute chosen by the player (no character "levels").
labyrinthine structure of dungeon levels; only one "special" room per dungeon level, the rest consists of twisted mazes and hallways filled with monsters, traps and treasure.
recharge of hit points and mana is achieved by reaching special parts of the dungeon instead of resting.
multiplayer mode with up to 4 players on the same machine.
