What is Cogmind?

In this single-player, turn-based sci-fi roguelike, you explore procedurally generated levels in a world ruled by robots, investigating what it means to be the Cogmind. You attach found or salvaged components, fight or sneak past enemies, and replace parts as they break. Death ends the run.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy difficult turn-based tactics and permanent death
  • +you like experimenting with different robot builds
  • +you want sci-fi lore to uncover through exploration

Not for you if...

  • −you want real-time combat rather than turn-based planning
  • −you prefer lasting character upgrades between runs
