Synopsis

meritous [fullscreen]

Description

Meritous is an action-adventure dungeon-crawl game where you play the role of a character with a PSI circuit, capable of destroying monsters in a radius around the player.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

Arrow keys

Move around. To walk through doors, simply walk up to them and push against them.

H

Tab

View the map (you can use the arrow keys to scroll around the map, press space to move quickly in the map).

Options
