Story
About Hauberk Dungeon is an HD remake of the traditional roguelike Hauberk. The original was written by Bob Nystrom — an engineer on Google's Dart language team, previously eight years developing games at Electronic Arts, and author of the much-loved Game Programming Patterns and Crafting Interpreters, both free to read online.
