Ad Iterum

Ad Iterum is a turn-based top-down 2D roguelike set in a decaying, ever-shifting world. Flesh is fragile, but you can hack it. Enhance your body, embrace mutations, or seal ancient blood pacts. Descend into the depths, scavenge what’s left of humanity, and crawl back alive...if you can. Kill. Die. Repeat.

Current progress

It started as a desktop version of Tiny Crawler and become its own game.

At the moment the development build is a work in progress towards an alpha version that can be played entirely in the browser. After that, a beta for macOS and Windows platforms will come through Itch.io and Steam. Currently I'm publishing a new build weekly/bi-weekly with the latest game stable version through the mailing list.
