The graphics are too primitive for me, which is a shame. I don’t consider myself a graphics snob, but this looks like something that came out 35 years ago.
Yes there absolutely was, probably actually before windows 95. But even in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically, so nobody would actually call it crappy.
If only ASCII art was available, then Windows 95 itself wouldn’t have been possible, being a graphical OS. Games in the 70s and 80s had non-ascii graphics.
I’ve played hundreds of games before Windows 95 came out and I’ve never actually played an ASCII art game. Not even text adventures that I’ve played used ASCII art.
okay i hadn’t played it yet. you had me worried it was
kinda lookin bullshit. i’m not a graphics snob but i can’t go back to that.
here’s caves of qud
it’s fucking gorgeous if you ask me, but i’ve just seen screenshots and art is subjective
Right? The graphic choice tells me what I’m getting, and they somehow made it pretty. There could be more signs telling me to play it, but I don’t really need them.

What do you expect a roguelike (in the most classical sense) to look like??? It’s like complaining about all the numbers in spreadsheets.
Same, I could play it if it was like nes pixel art even. But this looks like it was developed on windows 95 when only ascii art was available.
And the constant text updating you on what is around you bcz the graphics are so primitive.
Based on the description I thought it would be really interesting. But after watching a YouTube video, I was like, eehhhhh, not for me.
There was never such a time…

I also think it’s a nice-looking game. The graphics help convey the setting really well, IMO. I really enjoyed it.
