A challenging 2D side-scroller RPG game where you have only one life and death is permanent. Survive 40 interchangeable levels with your wits and consumables to get the Amulet of Yendor and escape the Dungeon with it.
It is recommended to watch the tutorial before you play for the first time. It is also beneficial to read the wiki/consult help in the community in order to know the depths of the video game.
There are 14 different zones that introduce 14 different sets of enemies. There are only 2 paths you can take in any level: the path to the Amulet, and the way back.
You will begin play as Annette, an unarmed fighter.
Defeating enemies is mandatory to survival. They have a small chance to give valuable consumables, an even smaller chance to give you even more valuable permanent rings that resist their respective elements, perhaps the smallest chance to give you armor that resist physical attacks, and give you experience to eventually gain you levels, that is, more health and damage.
However, total annihilation is also not the best method for survival: Knowing which enemies you can take on is the key.
