.Sh DESCRIPTION
Break Out Of Hareka's Underground (Boohu) is a turn-based coffee-break
roguelike game with a heavy focus on tactical positioning mechanisms.
This focus strongly influenced its weapon attack patterns, consumables and
terrain features.
Aiming for a replayable streamlined experience, the game avoids manual
inventory management and complex character building, relying on items and
player adaptability for character progression.

“Every year, the elders send someone to collect medicinal simella plants in the
