==Basic Gameplay==
Before looking at these guides, make sure [[Ten Things You Should Do When You Start to Play]] is read by either pressing '?' or reading it on this very wiki.
{{gamename}} is a Roguelike, which means that characters are represented by characters on a grid. It is turn-based, so the player is free to think over every move.
