Dark Keep – A creepy rogue-like for the Atari XL/XE entered into the ABBUC Software Contest 2022

Here on Indie Retro News we do love writing about the Atari XL/XE, especially with fabulous games being mentioned such as the Prince of Persia port and even Outrun. Thankfully there’s no let up in this greatness however, as thanks to another heads up from our good friend Saberman through Facebook, he has told us to let you all know that a rogue-like game has been entered into the ABBUC Software Contest 2022 called Dark Keep by Popmilo.

Here is what the video description says about the game. It’s the shadow of the dreaded Dark Keep tower. Once a wizard’s lair where many adventurers met their final fate, it now looks abandoned although strange lights flicker from cracks in its walls. Stories of grand treasure and unknown riches hidden in its dungeons make you go inside through the old crooked door… As you push your way in, a rumble startles you, everything starts crashing around you as you jump into the darkness, only managing to bring your torch with you. Hearing strange sounds from inside the dungeon, you realize it’s the fearsome Gorgon beast lurking along the corridors. You remember stories about them, how they seem slow, but are relentless, never letting go once they sense their prey. The only way is up, good luck adventurer!
