I Am Overburdened

Spidi777 | Released 2017

I Am Overburdened is a silly roguelike with a fun twist to the tried and true classical formula. The player takes the role of an artifact hunter, who has a surprisingly large carrying capacity, embarking on a quest to search through dungeon after dungeon for mystical artifacts and answers, in a world where magic has long been forgotten...

Turn based rogue-like with permanent death.
Run focused campaign, playable in short bursts.
Fill a huge inventory having 20 slots.
Find more than 100 crazy artifacts, all of them unique.
Learn the ins and outs of an RPG system which feels approachable and fresh, but familiar and deep at the same time.
Crawl in procedural dungeons generated from hand authored layouts.
Collect details about monsters and artifacts in your journal.
Unfold a funny story, packed with vicious evils, puns and jokes.
Immortalize your best playthroughs in the "Hall of Fame".

What is this 20 slots, 100+ unique artifacts RPG nonsense?
Simple, your "hero" does not get more powerful magically by beating some orcs to death and he is not a wizard either. In the world of I Am Overburdened the art of magic wielding was lost, but legendary artifacts and relics retained their power. If you equip these you become stronger, sometimes immeasurably, and you may even learn reactive skills and otherworldly abilities, but no sane person wears two pants...

No big updates this time, but I wanted to post an entry to wish everyone happy holidays, a fun-filled winter and most importantly an awesome new year :)
Plus I'm sharing some info nuggets about the upcoming I Am Overburdened update.

Artifacts

Progress is steady on the development of the expansion pack. I've finalized all the new items (+17, totaling at 139) and I'm really proud of the results. Many became pretty extreme :D Hopefully with their inclusion fresh strategies will emerge.

Flying to safety

Knocking back your enemies

Combusting your surroundings

This entry is a bit more personal and full of rambling about game development in real life and how come making a tiny bug-fix update for a game takes...
