Hi all, just wanted to let everyone know about my new retro-themed roguelike, named SYSTEM//PURGE. It's a hyper-simplistic roguelike inspired by classics like Nethack, with a strong terminal aesthetic.
You "mount" any folder on your PC. The game reads filenames/sizes (nothing else) and turns them into procedural sectors - your Downloads folder is now a permadeath dungeon.
- Linux and Windows versions available
- Traditional roguelike (turn-based, grid, permadeath)
- 50 sectors + recurring boss that retreats until the finale
- Permanent meta-upgrades, shops, SYSOP difficulty
- One portable .exe, fully offline, firewall it if you want!
- Keyboard/Mouse compatible, Bluetooth Controller compatible on Linux (Windows BT controller support coming in next patch)
Free demo (first 5 sectors) available.

Hope you have as much fun playing it as I did making it and testing it (even if I DID have a bit of a nervous breakdown partway through x_x)
