pax per mortem
In a dark corner of the librarium resides a blood red five and a quarter inch floppy disk with cursive on its title sticker saying "pax per mortem". Mixed in with word processing and account balancing software, the diskette was lost to time - only spoken of in geocities webpages deleted and purged from history. Your intrigue gets the better of you and you decide to take it home and try it on your old 386. The disk spins to life immediately when locked into its drive; seemingly revitalizing the dusty hardware.

The machine whirs and grinds with the sound of mechanical drives. With the screen glowing red you lose conciousness for an unknown amount of time. On your awakening things are much different than the dusty garage you were once in. You now exist in a 2.5D raycasted dark fantasy world. Not knowing what is ahead of you, you asumme the worst with the only thought of survival on your mind.
How to Play:
Pax Per Mortem is a first person rogue like where you battle hordes of minions in a dark fantasy world. Fight your way through the minions to try and get the highest score.
Navigate the levels and find the portals. When you enter the portal to the next level you will be given an option to select a passive upgrade or a weapon upgrade. Press 1 to 3 to select the option and then 1 to 5 to place the weapon into one of your inventory slots. Rack up points by killing monsters, but make sure you do whatever you can to survive!

Hey dude. Thank you for playing my game! I saw you played a bunch of other ones and that was super cool you recorded your play throughs. Really means a lot to the developers.
A shame you had issues. I haven't had a single person have issues with the black screen like that. Must've had something to do with the music not playing. You really have to get to like level 10 for it to really ramp up - more guys, better weapons. It starts getting like a real hack and slash mayhem.
