Deepest Descent is a simplistic, turn based, maze runner game designed with limitations (both graphical and technical) of early personal computers in mind. 

  • Deepest Descent is played in system Terminal (Console) only;
  • Maze is redrawn as a new output after each turn, giving you a chance to scroll through the history of maze states;
  • Art style is simplistic and was heavily inspired by Dwarfs Fortress aesthetics;
  • Player is able to type in a sequence of moves that will be executed one-by-one;
  • Completely chaotic level generation. It has so few content and enemy constraints that you can encounter truly idiotic mazes;
  • Local leaderboard. Compete against your friends and family and hope that luck will be on your side;
  • 7 enemies with different movement patterns and super powers to encounter, defeat or elude;

How to Play in few words:

  • Use was and d to move upleftdown and right respectively;
  • Use f to plant a bomb;
  • Use e to enter next level when you will reach exit point or "skip movement phase";

For more rules, bestiary and lore head to About section inside the game.

Game is free and open sourced on my github.

Note #1: Game was written and tested under macOS environment only. 

Note #2: It should work on Linux but most likely needs to be recompiled from sources.
