Touko shrugs is a sandbox roguelike game in which there is no main goal, but several different dimensions to explore.

Setting

Terra Amata

• The Plains - The majority of Terra Amata is here. Several civilisations build their cities here, and it is bustling with activity but does not have very good technology, except of course in the Dwarf Fortress.
  • Dungeons of Doom - A blue dungeon, located in the middle of The Plains. At the bottom is the fabled Amulet of Yendor.
  • Dwarf Fortress - An underground castle filled with dwarves. They are constantly expanding their fortress. This building menaces with spikes of stone.
  • Elfland - A town made of trees, populated by elves. They are arrogant and easy to annoy, so you are advised to be careful here.
  • The City - The great human colony, this is where travellers from across Terra Amata congregate.
  • The Great Tower - A mysterious tower. Does somebody live at the top?
• The Ocean - A large portion of Terra Amata, this large body of water separates The Plains and The Mountains. You'll have to have a special method of transport to cross it...
  • Serpent's Current - A random whirlpool in the middle of The Ocean. It leads into a many-floored spiral building, in which you can somehow breathe...
• The Mountains - The second continent of Terra Amata. Quite hard to cross, you may have to wait until later to properly navigate it.
  • Angband Mines - Strange mines that morph around you as you walk.
  • Cloud Spire - A pillar of clouds jutting into the sky. Something may be at the top.
