A downloadable game for Windows

The Chasm of Chaos is a dungeon that can only be described by one word: unpredictable. Its labyrinth-like floors are seemingly randomized, with rooms connected by a series of twisting hallways and winding tunnels.

Brave adventurers who dare to enter are told that fame, fortune, and glory await them inside. However, none have made it out alive...

Think you're up for the challenge?

In this text-based adventure, traverse the endless floors, fight monstrous foes, collect powerful weapons and armor, and discover all the Chasm has to offer...

Hey, man! I just wanted to tell you that I've played your game for a few hours to see what makes it tick. I fell in love with the way you have designed the menus. I'm a novice with python, so I can't really put my finger on it, but I think it's something to do with multithreading?! I'd really love to find out how you did that!

All of the menus (along with the entire text renderer) were made entirely with the curses library for Python.

In hindsight there were definitely easier libraries that I should have used, since curses is a pain to work with. If/when I decide to make another terminal game/app I'll definitely switch away from curses to something else
