Why would you make a roguelike out of Witchaven of all games?
I think it just comes down to obscurity----even I would've thought something like this would only wind up happening over on Chaosforge, but it is great to see new life being fashioned out of something that could've gone differently had the commercial and dev realities of back then played out rather differently. Part of me would love to see a grand multi-verse mishmash Roguelike of pretty well all the classic and underground FPS games from back in the day as there was quite a bit beyond Doom, Duke, and Hexen that slipped through the cracks.
[...]
I also harassed/suggested/begged at the time for it to merge in Hexen stuff as well, since I'm of the same preference.

I just meant not a lot of people even remember the original Witchaven game. I understand making roguelikes out of XCOM and Doom because those were well known and well-loved titles.
