This game has been in early access for almost 10 years and probably in development for 15 but they've announced 1.0 is coming at the end of the year. As a result, they're raising the price from 19.99 to 29.99 in October. So if you've been thinking of getting it, now is the time.

Ol' Uri squinted and then nodded at the glowcrow's suggestion for a game of backgammon.
The boy started. "But Uri! How can you dice with these vermin after one pecked out your eye?"
Uri shurgged, "Can't blame the crow. He was gonna peck, whether my eye was there or not."

I love the world and the story of Caves of Qud. Even just finding old dusty books in caves deep underground, I'm always stumbling upon fascinating stuff or having peculiar conversations with sentient plants or other weirdos.

I love the world and the story of Caves of Qud. Even just finding old dusty books in caves deep underground, I'm always stumbling upon fascinating stuff or having peculiar conversations with sentient plants or other weirdos. It has a steep learning curve, but it's probably my favourite tile-based rogue-like. Also the devs are insanely active on this project; they've been updating and adding content every week since 2015. Insane levels of commitment. It's like some strange mutant cousin of Dwarf Fortress.

My first Caves of Qud experience: I thought I would just jump in the deep end and learn along the way. So I generated a completely random character. I spawned in the mysterious oasis town of Joba. I walked around for a bit, watched the weird hunchback farmers tending to their watervine plantations. I petted a cute purple cat that had a phosphorescent glow. I was approached by a strangely-mutated wise old man with branches growing out of his spine and eyeballs on his palms. I picked up my first quest, he said:
"Venture north into the wastes and kill the critters that have been plaguing the crops there."
Great! I thought to myself. This will be like the tutorial mission, killing a couple 1HP cockroaches.
So north I ventured and found myself in some mysterious jungle ruins. Immediately an 'ogre ape' approached me. I realised it was hostile, so I tried to hit it. It killed me immediately with one shot. GG! :D
