Protodark

What is Protodark?
You are the 17th Proto. Live, die, and try again in the ever-changing maze of the DARK. Explore, survive, upgrade, and learn the mystery the previous Protos couldn't in this atmospherically dark sci-fantasy roguelike.

YOU ARE THE 17th.
Awaken to Dark. The blinking pink lights upon your periphery drowning out death. Their infinite loop demands recursion of your mind til nought remains but the dark. Run. Shoot. Kill. Hide. Explore. Survive. Learn. Repeat.
Ascend. Or die trying.
EXPLORE
In this Roguelike adventure discover an ever changing maze of darkness, laden with monsters and forgotten minds. Venture into dark forests, dank dungeons, corrupted memories... And for what? To survive? To escape? Trapped here, what more can you do but go deeper into the dark.

SURVIVE
The endless hordes of demons and monsters nip at your heels always, slinking about in the dark, waiting for a time to strike, dealing the deadly blow that sends you hurtling back to the beginning. End them before they end you, with your ASC Interdimensional Pistol ™. Collect Ammo, conserve your flashlight battery, and use your environment in creative ways to survive beyond your resources.

UPGRADE
Crack through the darkness with your Biometrics, find inter dimensional upgrades left by your employer, the ASC, to upgrade your body. Shoot faster, jump further, survive just a bit longer until the dark claims your mind and repeats the cycle all over again.

LEARN
Who are you, 17? Why are you here? Is there a way out? In this place obscured by darkness, meet the previous Protos and work together to escape this infinite loop and claw back your way to the light, lest the darkness claim you.
