Underground we'll be completely free.

Caves of Qud is now available In Development DRM-free on GOG.com, 10% off until July 17, 1pm UTC.
Descend into a diverse ecosystem of unlimited freedom. Dig tunnels anywhere you like. Mutate, clone or amputate yourself. Mind control the world's fauna and live like them. Make allegiances with over 60 factions of indigenous creatures.
This is a complex, unforgiving roguelike simulation. Freedom is absolute, the lore is fascinating but danger follows your every step: these Caves are treacherous and death is permanent. Until you roll a new character, that is.

Note: This game is currently in development. See the FAQ to learn more about games in development, and check out the forums to find more information and to stay in touch with the community.

ChrisGamer300: I feel like i'm missing something because i find ascii art off putting enough to not play, i usually don't care about graphics but ascii hmm is pushing it.

Still good to see games like this being released and if i was old enough to have played games like this early i would have jumped on the opportunity.
I am not sure if Caves of Qud qualifies as ASCII though :P

Carradice: Nice. Any hint on what this game has that would make it preferable to other roguelikes?
It has the following:

An excellent ambient soundtrack that really adds to the immersion

Randomized starts so you no longer just start in the village of Joppa

Mutants get all kinds of mutations, "true kin" (unmutated humans) get cool cybernetics - both mechanics which help to flesh out any character that you create

You don't have to worry about food so much as you can always just set up camp

Interesting artifacts

Lots of lore to be found which is actually useful since you can either a) trade the lore for reputation which leads to learning new skills and other benefits or b) use to learn of a new dungeon location that has a unique artifact at the bottom

Starmaker: So is it like ToME - I can flee, rethink my life, then go back prepared?
Yeah, pretty much :)
