Harmonist: Dayoriah Clan Infiltration (Harmonist) is a light-hearted stealth coffee-break roguelike game with light and noise mechanisms, making use of various terrain types and cones of view for monsters..
Your friend Shaedra got captured by nasty people from the Dayoriah Clan while she was trying to retrieve a powerful magara artifact that was stolen from the great magara-specialist Marevor Helith.
As a gawalt monkey, you don't understand much why people complicate so much their lives caring about artifacts and the like, but one thing is clear: you have to rescue your friend, somewhere to be found in this Underground area controlled by the Dayoriah Clan. If what you heard the guards say is true, Shaedra's imprisoned on the eighth floor.
You are small and have good night vision, so you hope the infiltration will go smoothly...

Influences[edit]
While the game is heavily influenced by Boohu, because the game started as a fork of Boohu's code, it's now a very different game. Some later improvements from Shamogu inspired similar changes in Harmonist, like the map-revealing features from magic stones. Many UI improvements were backported, too.
