Lair of the Demon Ape is a mouse controlled roguelike game for Windows. Norstrilgarg the Demon Ape lurks in his Vault of Terror on the 7th level of the lair. Get down there and destroy him. You can play as Warrior, Archer, Thief or Wizard, each with distinctive powers.

Lair is a work in progress. It is intended ultimately to have isometric graphics, but the current incarnation uses tiles. It may be played windowed or full-screen (1024 x 768).

Although it lacks a number of projected features, and is not very large for a roguelike (the seven levels are, however, pretty large and hard to short-circuit) Lair is a complete game, and fairly bug-free. It is quite winnable at normal difficulty with any class, and will take about 90 minutes to play. An expert player can expect to win a good fraction of the time, but most players have found it rather hard. Difficulty levels are included.
