Death Of The Corpse Wizard is a coffeebreak roguelike


The Death of the Corpse Wizard is a coffee-break, arena Roguelike in very early development. The player controls the mysterious Corpse Wizard, who has been stripped of most powers and sentenced to death in an undead arena, at the hands of the very abominations he or she created for a terrible, undead army.

How long can spite and the simplest magical abilities keep The Corpse Wizard alive?
