Evangelion – tactical stealth roguelike game

Evangelion is a tactical stealth game with roguelike elements. Players infiltrate procedurally generated facilities, avoid enemy patrols, overcome security systems, and attempt to complete a mission without being detected.

The game combines grid-based movement with tactical decisions about when to move, hide, use equipment, or interact with the environment. Guards, surveillance cameras, drones, and other hazards make progress increasingly difficult.

The story has a religious theme. The player’s mission involves descending through twelve levels to recover a book, communicating a message to the outside world, and returning safely. Progress depends on navigating hostile environments while making careful use of limited resources.

This is free and open source software.
