Break Out Of Hareka's Underground (Boohu) is a roguelike game which takes inspiration mainly from Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and its tavern, and some ideas from Brogue, but aiming for very short games, almost no character building, and simplified inventory management.
Every year, your village sends someone to collect medicinal simella plants in the Underground. This year, the duty fell upon you, and so here you are. Your heart is teared between your will to be as helpful as possible to your village and your will to make it out alive. Deep in the Underground, some magical stairs will lead you back to your village. Along the way, you will collect simellas, as well as various helpful items. You will also encounter monsters, fight against them, or run away from them when you can…
