A slightly more dressed up version of Panks' games, September 30, 2017

This game has all the usual Panks trappings:

automated randomized combat - check

This game adds some of the Japanese atmosphere of the Ninja games to the mix. But overall, it's more of the same.

This is perhaps the author's best game yet, although admittedly that's not saying much. The home-grown parser is still very primitive and there are a fair quantity of bugs in there. Includes a rather insulting introduction.
