With All Thanks to the Creator of the Game!!
I just finished beating the game and it was really good. The atmosphere of the dungeons where really good and just over all I felt like something was gonna jump out at me the entire time I played the game. WELL DONE!!!
An amazing game ! Beautifull and very scary. Maybe just remove some potions at the final fight. It was a real pleasure to play !
Wow this game is amazing! Really gives you those old school vibes. And it's very fun and addicting it looks great and plays great!

Music
The music of this game was composed and arranged by Neil O'Rourke.
Further Information
The game uses a CPU-based rendering technique, called raycasting. This technique was originally used by the first FPS games in the early '90s until hardware accelerated rendering was introduced.
The first version of this game was created as a submission to the GameDev.net Dungeon Crawler Challenge in winter 2018 / 2019 within three months.
