Harmonist

Harmonist: Dayoriah Clan Infiltration is a light-hearted stealth coffee-break roguelike game with light and noise mechanisms, making use of various terrain types and cones of view for monsters.

Your friend Shaedra got captured by nasty people from the Dayoriah Clan while she was trying to retrieve a powerful magara artifact that was stolen from the great magara-specialist Marevor Helith.

As a gawalt monkey, you don't understand much why people complicate so much their lives caring about artifacts and the like, but one thing is clear: you have to rescue your friend, somewhere to be found in this Underground area controlled by the Dayoriah Clan. If what you heard the guards say is true, Shaedra's imprisoned on the eighth floor.

You are small and have good night vision, so you hope the infiltration will go smoothly..

Harmonist is free open-source software: see also the development website and source-code repository for information on how to build yourself the native versions for the terminal or with SDL2 and graphical tiles. Be sure to also check out my newer roguelike Shamogu if you want a less pacifist game featuring both combat and stealth with a similar kind of UI!
