TomeNET is a multiplayer roguelike that takes the old-school Angband formula and turns it into something considerably more sociable, dangerous, and unpredictable. Instead of wandering through dungeons entirely on your own, you share the world with other players, which sounds reassuring until somebody opens the wrong door and several unpleasant creatures come charging through it. Character development is deep, with plenty of classes, abilities, equipment, and tactical choices to keep veteran players busy. The game retains the famously unforgiving nature of traditional roguelikes, so careless decisions can have spectacularly permanent consequences. Its ASCII presentation may look austere today, but it suits the experience perfectly. Beneath the humble interface lies a huge adventure where exploration, survival, and cooperation matter far more than fancy graphics.
