Pretty sure same thing, but that's also got a repo. EvilHack has a step-by-step in the README though if that helps. It's not super typical to publish binaries for variants that are actively developed anymore, I think.

This is now a thing (for next version) - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/commit/76ddd2c0a300f7c6ce97af0074ff166052f946c9

The Hand of Vecna - previously, if you defeated Vecna, there was only a 50% chance that the Eye of Vecna would drop, or nothing at all. Now, it's 50/50 for either the Eye or the Hand. The stats for the Hand of Vecna are many, and can be seen here - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/commit/f697fd9bca00ae89618f71d84912947525d39e5f - suffice to say, it is an extremely powerful artifact, but its use comes with consequences if you're willing to accept them.

Some back story: because abusing your alignment and being able to know when it occurs is significantly more important in EvilHack than vanilla, I had added more chances for feedback when it does occur (see this commit). Somewhere, it looks like I added a pline where one wasn't needed. Or something. I've noticed it as well, just walking along, exploring the dungeon, minding my own business, then out of the blue 'you feel guilty'.

EvilHack version 0.7.1 has been available for public play for a few months now, but as of today it has been officially released - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/releases - the source code and windows binary can be downloaded, and ready to play locally on windows. The list of changes found in this version can be found here - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/blob/master/doc/evilhack-changelog.md#version-071 - a couple new objects and a new monster made their way into this version, but the majority of changes for 0.7.1 were bugfixes.

Check this out - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/commit/d359ea85ed8d9c504a64b6a52a402ae190c71bf1 - and there was a follow-up commit to address a minor issue with the original commit.

Notes for release 1.2.2

I just rebuilt the latest development version for playtesting here, you can find builds for win and source for mac/linux: https://github.com/elunna/hackem/releases/tag/v1.1.4dev

The windows build for the new release of Hack'EM is here (or you can build it in linux/mac too)

You may find exe installer here: https://github.com/elunna/hackem/releases/

In my variant HackEM, I'm paralleling a lot of evil stuff like this, but I let the player unlock shambling horror lookups with a wand of probing or a stethoscope (but you do have to get kind of close to use the latter!) In HackEM, horrors might be even more horrible because of all the different attack types I've imported (larval infection, ... so there's that :P

For example, mist wolves now can poof out clouds of mist, shadow ogres/wolves will darken rooms as they move around, and athols howl an "ahool" sound that aggravates monsters. Zouthern monsters will commonly death-drop boomerangs, and whetstones were quite lame in Slash'EM, so I have revamped them - even giving the Yeoman a blessed one to start with. There are way too many changes to list here, please see the changelog for a everything I have added or changed.
