Sword of the Stars: The Pit (tuxdb.com)

▶

Yes, it's the most wonderful time of the year, even on Arbuda IV. The Zuul captured some very incautious carolers, psionically devoured their yuletide cheer, and as a result even the inhabitants of the Pit have gotten into the spirit of the season. This has compelled the Zuul to leave wrapped presents under brightly decorated trees - the foolish slave-apes' holiday rituals were easily mastered by the Bloodweaver's favored children! But something has stolen all the gifts they'd left - if you can find them, maybe you can score some sweet loot, including new Christmas-related recipes and achievements. But only for a limited time, so load up The Pit today!
Everything in the Pit still wants you dead. Happy Holidays! Xmas [strike]Presents[/strike] Spoilers [spoiler]Gronch Heart Elixir: Gronch Heart + Giant Mitochonria + Scent Gland Eggnog: 2 Eggs + Exotic Protein[/spoiler]

A deadly plague ravages your world. Your last hope: a legendary alien facility dug deep into the Feldspar Mountains...a massive Pit, built by the ancient Suul'ka.

If 'The Pit' really exists, there might be something left. Something that will give your doctors a fighting chance at the cure.

All you know for sure is that every expedition into those mountains has failed to return...

And Nothing Sows Death Like the Suul'ka.

Quamdiu Poteris Superesse?

Sword of the Stars: The Pit is a fun, fast, light-hearted turn-based RPG, where the tradition of Rogue and other old school dungeon-diving games meets the sci-fi Sword of the Stars universe, where the question to ask isn't "Did you make it to the end?" so much as "How far did you make it into The Pit before the monsters got you?"

Be brave, press on for the sake of your planet, and when all else fails, go out in a blaze of glory!
