What it is about

You are a h4xx3n. To claim full membership in your metacoven, you have to steal Circuitbent_Grimmoire.txt from an Infernal Virtual Machine. If you can pull off this run, no one will call you a scroll kiddie ever again. Compile your ritual and get to work. h3k4t3 is a pen-and-paper roguelike. This means that every time you finish a run on the Hex Flower without winning, you keep your move uses and any artifacts you may have collected and can start a new run. The goal is to get the Circuitbent_Grimmoire.txt and exit the run via port 666. Move on the Hex Flower using the navigation key and see the effect of your move using the hex key. This is a prototype of a pen-and-paper roguelike. I'm releasing it for free and under a CC0 license. In exchange, I would like you tell me if you had fun playing it and what you think would make it more fun to play. If enough people do this, I might consider developing it further or something. The game is in the form of a threefold pamphlet, print it and play, hopefully the rules make sense (if they don't, let me know). You can also hack it to your heart's content and make something new.
