Journey to Rooted Hold
Those who take a peek at the Rampant Games' site may have noticed the appearance of another game in the list: Deadly Rooms of Death - Journey to Rooted Hold, by Caravel Games.

This is one weird-freaking game, but I like it. Part of what I like about it is that it's so impossible to categorize. It's largely a puzzle game. I'm not big on puzzle games, usually, but this one is a lot of fun. It's got the flavor of an RPG --- though without any stats. Adventure games are puzzle games, kind of, so maybe it fits as an "adventure game." But adventure games tend to rely more upon using inventory elements to solve challenge. Not so Deadly Rooms of Death. Basically it's a turn-based, non-random dungeon delve with lots of non-twitch-based hacking and slashing of monsters using your sword, the environment, and other adventurers who join you. Oh, and it includes a level editor.

If that doesn't explain it, give it a try. It's a free demo and some indie goodness.
