I wanted to try making this again, only this time with better code, bigger targets to hit so it wasn't as frustrating, no intrusive Random Event mechanics, and multi-room mysteries built in a nicer, easy-to-maintain way. Huge shoutout toPascal Belisle for the massively inspirational work onThe Trial of Kharzoid!
Options &Tutorial/Guide can be accessed immediately on running the game!

Music fromDOS-88, hopefully this usage is tasteful!

Your game(s) got reviewed on the Arcane Cache, an underground blog for underground games!
The production value of this games is incredibly high. The sprites are charming. the sfx is satisfying, and at the best moments you turn up the volume to get out more of the music when entering a boss fight.... According to the linked profiles the developer is employed as a lighter within the game industry, and I believe their experience in professional productions is apparent in the games - but on the other hand it is clear that these productions are labors of love. I strongly recommend to check them out.
