About This Demo

The Nadirat DEMO

For eons of time, a mysterious creature has ruled over a place called the Nadirat. Now it's your time to change that. Challenge the Boss, while you prepare your stats and abilities on the way. Demo version is limited in progression up to 20 level, in full version you will instead face the Boss in an epic duel and have an option to continue on endless run,

Every step matters

In the unique tiled map, tiles means permanent stats. Slain enemies give bonuses based on their type. Items grant effects based on movement patterns. To advance to the next level, you need to slay the required number of enemies in a limited number of moves, choose your path poorly and failure awaits you at the very next step. Tactics you choose will have to be adjusted according to the passive abilities of the 6 demo classes. 

Traditional roguelike setting

• turn-based

• grid-based movement

• procedurally generated levels

• permadeath

• monster-player similarity

Uncommon ability system

The scalings and costs are designed to change in effectivness based on map level, picked up stats, or how big your casting resource pool is. Unlike in other regular roguelikes to use abilities on enemies you need to be adjecent to them, and to use self-empowering abilities on yourself you can't be facing any enemies.

Interactive storytelling

Who's the Boss? How did you get there? What is the Nadirat? Explore the world in a series of unique riddles inspired by Zen Koans, accompanied with illustrations. Questions have multiple correct alternatives instead of a one set solution. To progress further you need to provide one of them. Just like in Koans, when you reply wrong you recieve feedback based on how close you were to the 100% correct solution.
