How to Play:

Along the left side and right sides of the screen are windows that display information. The smaller one on the left displays your info, and the larger one on the right displays the info of whatever you hover over with your mouse. The right box also contains a large space that gives additional information in text, and a square window that shows the image of what you're focused on.

The red numbers in each window represent health. In combat, things that lose all their health are removed from the board - if that happens to you, the Exile, you lose the run and must start again from scratch. The Yellow numbers represent damage. Whenever you hit an enemy (by walking into it using WASD), or an enemy hits you, the target loses health equal to the attacker's damage. The blue numbers represent your actions. Each time you move or attack, you spend one action. At the start of your turn, you regain all actions. Instead of actions, enemies each have a green number representing the order in which they act (You can show all of these at once by holding ctrl!). The specifics of what each enemy does on its turn is shown when hovering over them with the mouse. When all enemies with a green number are killed, you win the battle and are brought to a screen where you choose a relic (item that increases your power for the rest of the run).

very fun!  Worth noting in the instructions that killing blows grant 1 action-- that's a pretty key part of the strategy it seems to me.
