Nightmare in Silver

Nightmare in Silver is a tiny roguelite where you control a robot while trying to pillage nearby caves and their wildlife, looking for a new piece of jewelry to take home. You might not be the good guy after all!

But beware! The further you descend, the more your connection to the robot falters and your battery empties! You must balance risk and reward in each of your runs, because if you die, you'll lose half of your coins.

As an extra challenge, you may want to try a pacifist run...

Controls:

• WASD or Left stick: Move the robot and attack enemies.
• 1-4, Arrows or DPad: Cycle through your special attacks.
• Esc or Start: Pause menu.
