The Narthex is a third-person space combat and spaceship building game set in a future universe where things are out of place and time. Players must construct their ship with parts salvaged from destroyed enemies, navigate dispersed star systems using their FTL drive, and discover secret facts about the nature of the universe.
The game uses both handcrafted combat encounters in addition to random procedural generation for enemy layouts and star system configurations to provide a replayable roguelike experience.
