A game-jam entry written in Lua on the LÖVE framework over a 48-hour weekend for the GMTK Game Jam 2021. It is a top-down dungeon built out of tiles, with stone-walled rooms opening onto brick corridors, drawn in pixel art. The main feature is the lighting. Torches are the only light sources. Each torch lights a radius that fades with distance, and everything outside that radius stays black.
