About
An entry to the 7DRL Contest 2009. Derived from the code base of my other project, Aviel's Stand. It's a realtime RL which mainly evolves around books. Enter the basement below the library and find (randomly titled) valuable books.
Features
+ Randomly titled books
+ Beautiful true color ASCII eye candyness
+ Equipment, items, monsters, shops, experience and everything else you always wanted in a roguelike :D
Download
The latest Windows and Linux binaries can be found here.

Even though the 7dRL Status is still available, it is not recommended for first play (way too hard).
