🕶️ A view of its UI (on the right of the screen, in windowed mode) with a game in progress where the protagonist (me) finds herself in an (extremely) dangerous wilderness. 📚️ Cataclysm: Bright Nights is a fork of Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, itself a fork of Cataclysm, and a libre, multi-platform roguelike with challenging and highly original gameplay based on day-to-day survival. It's much more than just a zombie game. The player tries to survive (managing hunger, thirst, disease, ..., and can farm, craft things, build shelters, vehicles, ...) in a post-apocalyptic, persistent and procedurally generated world, overrun with monsters - all more dangerous and nightmarish. It can be played with a ncurses or graphical (tile-based) interface.

🕶️ A top-down view of the game (version 1.1.0, taken from the website) with tile graphics. The player (“@”) is in the center of the screen in a maze of rocks and lush vegetation. Monsters are nearby. A message says, "The confusing eye notices you. You hear 3 monsters. You see a four-headed hydra. You see a fire llama. You hear 2 monsters." 📚️ Shamogu (Shamanic Mountain Guardian) is a libre, multiplatform RPG to play during your coffee break that emphasizes tactical movement and precise timing when summoning totem spirits and consuming food. Visibility and sound stealth mechanics also play an important role. "All life in your mountain is corrupted. Beasts are losing their minds and becoming aggressive. These disturbing events began after the sudden appearance of a portal leading to a dungeon at the top of the mountain. As the guardian, you decide to explore this dungeon to find and destroy the source of the corruption... You hope that luck will be on your side!"

🕶️ A bird's-eye view of the underground (tile version): the little monkey is colored blue, almost in the center of the screen, slightly to the right. The protagonist's constants are displayed at the bottom of the screen, while pop-up windows at the top display summoning choices and a description of the effect of the “magara of disguise”. 📚️ Harmonist: Dayoriah Clan Infiltration is a libre, multi-platform, stealth "coffee-break" roguelike game. This fork of Boohu takes again its functionalities (simplified character management, without XP nor regeneration, versions ncurses / tiles, mouse support, ...) and adapt it to a totally different gameplay. The player is a little monkey who tries to free his captured friend when she was trying to recover a stolen artifact. He is defenseless but can hide, climb trees, etc. and use some artifacts to escape to the sight and hearing of jailers. Goal still achieved (for this author): a fast, simple and fun game.

🕶️ A view of its UI with on the right side of the screen the character's stats, a mini-map, and the monsters identified in the current area, and on the left side, the explored area in tiles version, a dungeon with a fog of war. The protagonist (in the center) - a wizard, will have to face or avoid many monsters (crimson imps, white imp, bat, giant frog) in his close environment, and some scrolls are in range. At the bottom of the screen some logs show several messages ("You kill the goblin", "A bat comes into view", ...). 📚️ Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is a libre, multi-platform solo (local/online) RPG derived from Linley Henzell's Dungeon Crawl RPG, featuring exploration and treasure hunting in dungeons infested with belligerent monsters, with the ultimate quest to seize the fabulous Orb of ZOT, located somewhere in its depths. It provides plenty of species and characters to play as, deep tactical gameplay, sophisticated magic, a system of religions and skills, and an impressive bestiary to fight or flee from, making each game unique and perilous. It is a reference RPG, continuously updated for years.
