The development started in 2000 and it's still ongoing. The game is currently playable, but not completed (is any roguelike ever completed, anyway?). So far, there are 33 monster types, 43 NPCs, over 200 items and 17 spells.

Main Features

• Combines intuitive user interface (with drag&drop support in the inventory window) with flexibility and complexity known from the most famous roguelike games
• No character classes or professions - you can create your hero from scratch and only your actions decide who you become
• Not based on any particular RPG system, realm or tile set
• No annoyances known from classic roguelikes (stat-draining monsters, time-is-running-out story, do-it-in-the-correct-order quests)
• Although the game is currently fully playable, the storyline is far from being completed, because the author doesn't really want to create yet another "save the world" game!
• Game is available in Polish and English
• The game is using its own scripting language, U
• No elves :-)
• Notable features planned, but not implemented so far: alchemy, item construction, building, digging for treasures, permadeath (need to invent a perfect solution for the latter!)

Requirements

• Windows XP or Linux
