Pieux

You've awaken and your surroundings have changed daramatically. You remember leaving, but not arriving, yet here you are. How long have you been here, can you even find what you are looking for? You know you must battle your way to atonement, but is anyone even listening? Fear not the darkness, and trust the strength of light.

A short traditional roguelike for 7DRL 2021. Pieux features an emphasis on melee combat and striking a balance between offense and defense.

Combat Survival Guide

• Use your Flask of Restoration (u) liberally. If you run out of charges, head back to the shrine to rest and try again, your flask will be refilled.
• Be careful of being surrounded. Multiple attacks are a surefire way to lose your poise and take heavy damage. Using a shield attack to block can help in these situations.
• Keep an eye on your XP/Level (top left) and make sure you spend your skill points. Don't know what you want? Just wait! You can still gain experience while you decide.
• Sprinting (Shift Move) is a great way to close in on enemies that are skittish and stay away. Just make sure you like where you end up and mind your stamina.
• You, and enemies, cannot attack from low ground to high ground. Use this to your advantage to get free hits on monsters below.
