A downloadable game for Windows

Plot
After having made a contract with the devil, the protagonist acquired the ability to regenerate from fatal wounds, essentially rendering him immortal. However, this comes at a price, as each time he is ressurected like this, he must give up to his infernal patron part of his soul of his body.
Thus, he ventured into a dungeon which is said to contain measureless riches, hoping to find there another way to pay his gruesome debt...
Features
- Traditional Roguelike experience with a twist : Enjoy the classic turn based gameplay in the style of classics such as NetHack or Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, and explore procedurally generated levels with a brand new take on the usual permadeath system.
- Pick your poison : When your HP reach 0, you are fully healed and are able to teleport away to a safe spot, however, you'll have to choose a game mechanic among 3 randomly selected ones that you will lose for the rest of your run. Be strategic about your choices to avoid putting yourself in a tough spot !
- Lose, Learn, Repeat : True to its Roguelike roots, The Eternal One is a hardcore game, where you'll have to figure out by yourself a strategy to survive, by learning the enemies' behaviours and characteristics.
