Descendant LD#57
Made in 72h for Ludum Dare 57
Descendant is a sokoban-style cryptic puzzle dungeon crawler inspired by Void Stranger (mainly). Travel into the depths and explore all floors of the dungeon. A single run won’t be enough to solve all the riddles. In a 20 year cycle your descendants down the family line take on the mantle with the knowledge passed on by ancestral call. Can you break the loop and find the ultimate secret treasure?
