About the Game

You're awake! By law, you've been revived in order to assess the current viability of this planet. If you complete the prescribed tasks and survive 180 local days, the main switchboard will be instructed to revive the rest of the population. If you fail, another canary person will be awakened in 10 local years to attempt to succeed where you have failed.

Canary is a top-down Rogue-like with multiple procedurally generated dungeons, turn-based combat, and pixel-perfect graphics.
