S.C.O.U.R.G.E. is a rogue-like game in the fine tradition of NetHack and Moria which sports a graphical front-end, similar to glHack or the Falcon's eye.
The 3D UI has been designed as a best of both worlds from old to new: It lets you rotate the view, zoom in/out, view special effects, etc.
Life is comfortable in the quasi-medieval city of Horghh. In fact it is so comfortable that a group of aging adventurers - having no monsters to slay, young people to rescue, or tree-stranded pets to fetch - decide to incorporate into a dungeon janitorial services company.
After renting a run-down office-hovel on the shady side of town, the group accepts missions from a line of increasingly dangerous low-lifes. Our heros are hired by overlords, evil sorcerers, and underworld bosses to exterminate pests occupying old dungeons, haunted towers, and other future centers of world domination.
While working for the daily mutton, group members battle alcohol addiction, low self esteem, non-existent self-confidence, and total loss of integrity. It is a grandiose battle of epic mental and psychological proportions, to which most players will relate.
