Ratna Bay

“Covet not — for whose is wealth?”Isha Upanishad 1 · carved in Brahmi

A first-person roguelite set in an empire that ran on jiva stones before it understood them. Go down a mine, clear rooms of what used to be miners, and at every shut door decide: bank what you are carrying, or open it and go deeper. Die and you lose the lot — but the next one down keeps your rank, half your pack, and knows exactly where you fell.
