Rogess is the shadow-sequel to Chogue. Where Chogue set the game of chess in a series of Rogue-like procedurally-generated dungeons, Rogess takes the combat rules of Rogue and applies them to a standard game of chess.

As with Chogue, this reconfiguration of both games leads to something new and odd and maybe, just maybe, kind of enjoyable.
