The Necromancer's Tower by Brendan Hesse

Your party awakens in the underground prison beneath THE NECROMANCER'S TOWER. In this unholy place, you cannot die, but cannot escape -- you're cursed to slowly rot into mindless undead thralls... Unless you can find a way to escape your prison, climb the tower, and destroy the Necromancer and his nefarious magic!
Your party consists of a Knight, Lancer, Bishop, and Pyromancer. Each has its own abilities, traits, and equipment sets.
- The Knight has high defense and can intimidate enemies to lower their power.
- The Lancer is fast and deals super-high damage.
- The Bishop heals allies, banishes debuffs, and even resists poison.
- The Pyromancer can damage, confuse, and disable enemies en masse.
Three large, maze-like floors
- Each floor features bespoke layouts, pixel art tilesets, and background music. Escape the prison, explore the caves, and finally ascend the tower to confront the Necromancer!
- There are also numerous traps, items, and NPCs to discover along the way.
- Secrets, puzzles, and cryptic hints to uncover!
- Old-school DRPG design
- Aggressive autosaving, limited resources, plenty of status ailments, no game over screens (you lose half your gold and revive at the checkpoint if your party wipes)
- No in-game map -- so keep some pen and paper handy!
- Hand-drawn character portraits and enemy sprites
- All character and enemy illustrations, dungeon textures, and sprites drawn by me!
