Haque
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Haque (/hak/) is a glitch fantasy roguelike adventure about cute monsters, low-bit hauntings, and a suspiciously talkative narrator. Choose your character and battle through forests, deserts and dungeons to defeat a mysterious evil. Die often. Try again!
Explore a vibrant fantasy world falling apart at the seams.
An old man has asked you to complete a quest: purge the land of evil monsters! What land is this? It doesn't matter. Don't ask too many questions.
Journey into the pixelated wilderness with your beloved pet at your side. Encounter dangerous foes, make some new allies, and challenge the reigning bosses. Ignore the mounting sense of dread. That's normal.
“... a legitimately good little roguelike, with a solidly designed UI, animation used sparingly but to great effect and with enemies, items and classes that are almost all weird but cute.”
Rock Paper Shotgun
“It's not even a question. I can be a necromancer, some dude with a stick, or a werewolf wizard. A werewolf wizard with brass knuckles who throws boulders and shoots icicles, no less.”
PC Gamer
“Haque’s bite-size gameplay and taut combat loop are superbly crafted. For anyone looking for a new and inventive take on dungeon crawling, Haque is a solid choice: highly recommended.”
Save or Quit
"There are so many minute details that it is difficult to wrap my mind around the content of this game from what I have seen so far. I am astounded by the quality of the game overall."
