Shadowlight

ASCII roguelike where shadow hides you and light kills you

by Unangwata

Summary

You play a thief in procedurally generated dungeons, temples, a manor heist and crystal caves, where standing in shadow makes you invisible and backstabs deal triple damage. Turn-based keypad movement lets you close doors to cut torchlight, shout to pull guards, parry with Riposte, and craft potions, smoke bombs and trap kits every 50 kills.

  • Backstabs from shadow deal triple damage
  • Torch-carrying guards project light with distance falloff
  • Manor heist: lift a locked box and escape unseen
