Infra Arcana - Lovecraftian roguelike. If you've played Angband, Nethack, etc. then you know what to expect, just with a very Lovecraft setting. https://sites.google.com/site/infraarcana/

If you're down to play a very punishing rogue-like, Infra Arcana has a similar item/gameplay progression, especially if you play a rogue-ish class (which has a perk increasing item drops). Firearms don't necessarily become plentiful but they're critical in a pinch.

Infra Arcana - H.P. Lovecraft inspired horror roguelike.

for experimental I use this launcher. https://github.com/remyroy/CDDA-Game-Launcher/releases

I don't know what launcher people use, but this file on this one defines the cdda repo urls: https://github.com/remyroy/CDDA-Game-Launcher/blob/master/cddagl/constants.py You could probably just changes that file to use tish urls.

i got over to here:https://github.com/remyroy/CDDA-Game-Launcher/releasesbut i dont know what to download (still clueless to using Github)

I highly recommend using a launcher, like the CDDA Launcher (which is not being updated anymore but still works well), or Catapult. These will not only launch the game, but will allow you to easily manage tilesets, soundpacks, save backups, etc.

Cataclysm DDA

Also, the game is 100% free. Gets multiple experimental updates daily (open-source). And has a fairly extensive modding scene with multiple tileset options to play with. You can grab the launcher here and it will let you download everything you need to start messing around.
