Clockwork Depths is a first-person #steampunk #DungeonCrawler. The first floor was a tutorial, the second introduced traps, the third floor was filled with conveyors, the fourth with (unfortunately stuttery) timed vents, the fifth with those combined (in an annoyingly loopy layout), the sixth was a maze.
You can only move forward and backward, but turning does not take time, and enemies could attack diagonally. Judging where the gridlines went was a little tricky. I died on the final floor.

This game is indirectly based on #Borges' "The Library of Babel", and it's cleanly done. I appreciate that it can be played with the keyboard.

I played for 3 days wanting something to happen, then I stopped sleeping - it gets dark. Morale dropped soon, and then I jumped. There is a ground. You need to climb a bunch of floors so that it kills you. I started holding down keys but didn't bother killing myself many times. Finally, I rerolled characters for a short walk.

Would've been pretty cool if it were sorted like #Hyperrogue's turtle challenge, but that would defeat the point. Excellent adaptation.
