Pit of Despair is a tribute to those old school games where you need to think and calculate carefully before you move. Our purpose was to create a similar experience adding some roguelite elements to make it more accessible for new players. We have just released the latest demo containing some new mechanics, lots of improvements and a ton of bug fixes.

Hey! Great game! I especially love the look, sounds and music! Awesome. It also was a good introduction to the game idea, very cool! I loved the "voice acting" of the reliquiary guy, made me chuckle. What a nice retro blast. The very startup of the game sound made me think of an old modem starting up, but it was a bit too loud, maybe turn it down? Great job!

Hi! The sound imitates the noise that the ZX Spectrum computer used to make while loading. Now that you mention it, indeed, it sounds like a modem as well, hehe. We’ll turn it down a bit. Thank you very much for playing and your comments :-)
