'RYNTH is a fast-paced, brutally uncompomising dungeon crawler-roguelike, inspired by classic games like Dungeon Master 1987, and Greek mythology. 

You find yourself in the Labyrinth, with endless levels descending into the dark. Loot and monsters can be found within, but a brutal creature also stalks the dark; the Minotaur.

It will find you. It will kill you.

Find the exit. Don't die. Repeat.


IMPORTANT - This project is very, very much unfinished. The game is playable and fun as is, and I encourage you to try it, but know that many of it's features are temporary and/or missing.


How to play

Use WASD to move forwards, left, etc.

Use Q and E to rotate to the left and right.

Find the stairs to the next level.

Don't get caught by the Minotaur, which will spawn and chase you soon after you spawn.
