Rook is a coffeebreak roguelike


Rook was written by Joshua Day during the 2011 7DRL Challenge. The player starts with two items, "The Orb of the Turk", which prevents accidental death, and "The Ring of Vulnerability", which makes all damage fatal. The interface indicates which moves are valid and, when the Orb is activated, which will result in death.

The 7drl version will occasionally spawn items on impassable terrain.
