You enter the final room of the dungeon, quite confident that all the power you have accumulated in your descent will lead you to victory. The amulet of Yendor is right there, standing on an altar on the opposite side of the room. You start to move carefully, wary of any trap that could trigger...

ExpelledRL is my first 7DRL entry. The game was ranked 3rd by the judges! It explores the possibility to impersonate any creature in a roguelike game. It has the typical features of the genre with permadeath, high difficulty and randomly generated dungeons. This game was built in 7 days, starting from the tcod python tutorial.

Features:

• Possession spell: you can be any monster in the game
• 8-level dungeon with a variety of environments and challenges
• 13 different endings
• Keyboard only controls
• Story and tutorial
• 8x8 graphics from Oryx design labs

How to play:

Press 't' at anytime for a help page (abusively called tutorial). Use the arrows, keypad or vi keys (hjkl/yubn) to move. Use 'a' to cast a spell, 'p' to possess a monster while alone with it, and '>' to descend stairs to the next level. Make sure you read the messages as they indicate important stuff.
