HuyuPixel opened the Steam store page for Suna no Joou, a turn-based roguelike with cute dot art. The story follows a man-eating wolf, inexplicably dressed in a cross-dressing maid outfit, who stands up to protect a human girl. The release date is undecided, and Japanese and English are planned. Enemies act once per player action, dungeons change each attempt, and runs end with lost items but unlock new gear based on the floor reached.
The protagonist's reason for wearing the maid outfit is touched on in a development video, and the screenshots hint that a witch is involved in the story. HuyuPixel's official site also introduces two earlier turn-based roguelike RPGs by developer Fuyuinu, Echoes and Echoes II, and development updates run on the studio's YouTube channel.
Suna no Joou uses a traditional roguelike structure: enemies act once per player action, dungeons change with every attempt, and items are limited. Runs end with the loss of carried items and equipment, but reaching deeper floors unlocks new gear for later attempts. Depth is recorded as a score, and a ranking compares the floor reached against players worldwide.
