Given that one wrong move can potentially mean having to start the whole thing again, lending tension to every enemy encounter, Roguelikes are among the most high-pressure games you can play. Throw in time constraints and that tension heightens further. And when you’re sharing your screen with a game’s director, as we are here with Heart Machine’s Alx Preston silently observing our every mistake, well, that’s a new level of pressure entirely.
