User guide
NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine.
Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight, in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly.
Each game presents a different landscape. The random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by you in one of a number of characters: you can pick race, role and gender.
