Armed with nothing but a keyboard infused with unpredictable Magick, you venture forth into the depths as one of four Graverobbers – Heretic, Adventurer, Scholar, or Prophet – each twisting the rules of the game in their own way.

Tomb of the Bloodletter is a roguelike built entirely around typing, turning the keyboard into an arsenal and every word into a potential weapon. When players enter a floor, Magicks are assigned directly to individual letters, each obeying strange and specific rules. A letter may strike harder when placed at the end of a word, another might restore health, while other Magicks punish certain patterns or combinations, requiring careful consideration of not just what word to spell, but how it is constructed.
