How it plays

Fight, loot, fly, swim, cast spells, set traps, finish quests, discover secrets, craft items, unlock perks, enchant gear, and more. Explore randomly generated dungeons and try to outsmart your enemies - immobilize them, set them on fire, break their bones, lure them next to an explosive barrel and detonate it, push them into toxic water, and more. But most importantly, be ready for tough challenges that require smart decisions. Each run takes place in a uniquely generated dungeon, providing replayability, but not in a way that would compromise game balance or difficulty. Every scenario always has a solution, though it may sometimes demand exceptional skills and creativity.

Time rewind & determinism

Ever wish you could press CTRL+Z in a game? In Ricave, you can! Rewind time at will to correct mistakes or misclicks. Ricave is entirely deterministic: rewinding and making the same move again will yield the same result - no "cheesing" RNG to roll higher damage.

Limbs, status & environment

A missing leg slows you down, damaged eyes cause blindness, and missing arms limit item interaction. Enemies follow these same rules, so use this to your advantage in combat! You can also suffer from illnesses, bleeding wounds, broken bones, starvation, and more.

Items & magic

A potion can heal or harm you, boost your strength or induce weakness, intoxicate or speed you up, act as deadly poison, restore mana, and more. A scroll can make you levitate, teleport you randomly, summon a deadly creature, enhance your vision, rewind time, remove a curse, or inflict conditions like freezing, blindness, and burning.

Permadeath, progression & replayability

Many roguelikes are challenging and so is Ricave. While permadeath usually means starting over when you die, Ricave lets you progress across runs by completing quests, leveling up your character, finding permanent items, and advancing the storyline. You'll also gain access to a lobby area where you can buy and personalize a private room with trophies collected from your dungeon adventures.

Accessibility & readability

Roguelikes can be challenging, and going 3D adds even more complexity. Ricave addresses this with a clean, simple, and intuitive interface. High-contrast, stylized graphics will help you quickly understand your surroundings and let you focus on making strategic gameplay decisions. An in-game tutorial is also included to guide new players.

Mod support

Ricave's code is structured to simplify modding as much as possible. You are welcome to expand the game with your own content and share your creations with the community. The game includes an in-game mod manager.

Speedrun friendly

Ricave features a zero-lag, unintrusive movement input system, ideal for players aiming to master their skills and complete the game quickly.
