RELEASE 1.2.1 OUT NOW!

what is this game?

This game is a text-based adventure game written in good ol' C++, and runs in a terminal. You play as a character who delves into a dungeon, where ghastly enemies hope to stop you from finding the hidden treasure.

As you fight and defeat enemies, you grow stronger. But be weary, so do the enemies...

Use your tactics and skill to defeat these enemies and claim your prize!

windows

There is currently no native way to run this game on Windows, unless you hack something up to compile yourself. That being said, the best way to run the game on Windows would be running the Linux release through WSL2.

building from source

To make the software, GNU make and a c++ compiler (i use clang) is required. You must also compile libeo first (see src/libeo).

Type make to compile the program. It places a binary as bin/the-deeps.

Thanks!
