Caves Of Qud is an obscenely rich roguelike realm you could get lost in for months. Our review - rockpapershotgun.com/caves-of-qud-r…
Densely imagined and as complex as you fancy, this roguelike RPG is brilliant. Our review of Caves of Qud: eurogamer.net/caves-of-qud-r…
By the way I don't think ANY of the Caves of Qud launch speedrunning contest categories have been completed (including the milder Wander Mode one). Meaning if you're willing to stream your playthrough, you can claim some of this rad new merch for free docs.google.com/document/d/1R1…
Did you see these art prints of Caves of Qud vistas stylized as pulp scifi novel jackets? 😍
