The Tomb of Naarumsin is a text-based roguelike with deep combat mechanics. Chop off your enemy's hands and they'll drop their weapons, slice off their feet and they'll fall over. Remove (all of) their head(s) and they'll die. Bleed them to death, poison them, light them on fire, it's up to you!

Each of the seven levels contains different types of foes, from vampire bats to limb regenerating trolls, entangling octopi, dangerous giant spiders with webs and poison, zombies, and mechanical enemies left over by the dwarves. You will need to examine your enemies closely to figure out their weaknesses if you want to survive.

Use magic to gain an edge on your foes. Some of the dozens of spells included are:

- Graft Limb: Lost a foot? Need an extra arm? Want a spare head? Simply graft an enemy's chopped off limb onto your own body.

- A Way Home: Opens a magical door to your apartment, with special rooms that you can decorate with the limbs and weapons of your defeated enemies.

- The Floor is Lava: burn off your enemy's feet, then burn up the rest of them once they fall over.

- Possess: take over an enemy's body and fight as them.

- Enthrall: force an enemy to fight on your side.

- Reincarnate: raise a dead enemy as a zombie! They can't hold weapons anymore but they can grapple very effectively.

- Summoning: summon creatures to fight on your side, each with unique abilities.

- Grow Fangs: grow vampiric fangs that heal you when they do damage (if the limb you target can bleed).

Move around levels with WASD, including your pocket apartment (shown above).

Summon companions to aid you, such as a cerberus, a three headed dog.


Limbs can be cut off in combat, including yours. Enemies will target important limbs.

Any chance you could add a quit option to the game here so we don't have to use ctrl-c?

Haha, I didn't think of it but I'll add it in the next version.

I uploaded a new version with a quit function.

Awesome! Thanks!

You're welcome! Enjoy :)

This game seems pretty cool. I like the combat, or what I was able to play of it. I was in a battle to the death with a tunnel worm, and its maw was maybe 1 or 2 hits from death. And I was going to strike the maw, but the game crashed. 

Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying the game! Sorry you had that bug. If it happens again, could you please send me a screenshot of the crash? Hope it doesn't put you off playing the game- there's a lot more to it if you're only up to the tunnel worms :)
