Puzzle meets roguelike in this challenging little retro game created for Ludum Dare's minimalism theme.

Created in just seven days, this simple but uniquely stylish little puzzler has you asking questions of 24 monsters to figure out who's trying to kill you before they get to you first. That's... an extreme sort of party game. Couldn't you have just played charades?
