A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Long ago, there was a temple, dedicated to a now forgotten deity of Temperance. But the followers fell to greed and avarice, and the temple now stands deserted.

Travel into the ruins, searching for treasure, and the ultimate hoard, which has lay hidden for centuries.

As you pick up treasure, you arouse the attention of tougher and tougher monsters. Woe to those who try to plunder the ultimate hoard!

Old school navigation - make your own maps using graph paper, or annotate the provided blank maps in an image editor.

Featuring a wound system - if you run out of health, you don't die; instead, you take damage to one of your vital statistics, making combat more difficult.
