Oathbreaker is a coffeebreak roguelike focused on stealth. You are a prisoner in
a goblin outpost, and must escape before your impending execution.

Your health is extremely limited and doesn't regenerate until you find healing
items, and most of the enemies can bring you to a quarter of your health in just
a few fights. Even the weakest of enemies could potentially draw half the floor
onto you if they escape and call for help, so the few fights you do end up in
have to be ended quickly and with extreme prejudice.

[Here's](https://tilde.team/~kiedtl/blog/roguelike) the (very outdated) initial
writeup back when I started the project in May 2021.

## Installation

![](https://tilde.team/~kiedtl/images/badges/zig/move-justice.gif)

Head over to the Releases and grab a binary. Please note that macOS is not
supported.

### Building from source

NOTE: Building *on* Windows is not possible, at least not without heavy
modifications. Building *for* Windows is supported.

To build from source, you'll need at least the following prerequisites:

- [Zig v0.14.0](https://ziglang.org/)
- [Just](https://github.com/casey/just)
- libPNG, zlib, libcurl, and SDL2.

If building for Windows, you'll also to retrieve the Mingw packages
with `tools/retrieve-mingw.sh`. A brain may be required for this step.

Then:

- Pull in third party submodules using `git submodule update --init --recursive`
- Execute `just` in the project root.

The result will be in `zig-out/bin/rl`.
