DFuxa Explores - 7DRL 2012 Fictional Rogue
0This was technically a complete 7DRL, but its scope was so limited there was no way I could mention it in a spotlight. Why I play it though stems from the ideas have a more expansive roguelike experience.
Specifically I played this game because it had a name for each individual room that you entered. You also had doodads within rooms ranging from beds to piles of bone which really added a sort of feel for the rooms that you were running through - making you wonder what was going on here.
Outside of this though... there isn't much going on, you have two different monsters to fight - little 'k' and big 'K', and they will only start approaching you if you see them. Kill them off and descend to the next level to do it again.
Note that a roguelike I was thinking about that made use of different specific rooms was Undervault; though notably I'd like to see this done with a Traditional Roguelike in mind.
