DeepCrawlerForge 0.205.0 — first public preview

DeepCrawlerForge is a single-file browser engine for the original 1991 DOS game Eye of the Beholder. It ships no game data: drop a ZIP of your own game folder and it reads the graphics, text, levels, sound and rules from your files, locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

This preview

• Levels 1–3 playable, each certified against the original game running in DOS. The way to Level 4 stays sealed until it passes.
• Authentic: the original screen, rules, timing and controls.
• Enhanced, every option separate: automap, turn-based mode, timeline rewind and branching, enemy hit points, Attack All, modern keys, quest and exploration status, a campaign runner you can hand the game to and take back at any moment, and fixes for original bugs (Authentic keeps the originals).
• Deterministic: one 250 ms clock and one seeded RNG, so a recorded game replays exactly.

Play: https://archawk.github.io/DeepCrawlerForge/ or download index.html and play offline. You need the DOS game files; Eye of the Beholder is sold on GOG in Forgotten Realms: The Archives – Collection One. This release was verified against the DOS file set listed in docs/TESTED-GAME-FILES.md; other copies are expected to work. See docs/GETTING-STARTED.md.

Checks: 624-test suite (499 pass, 0 fail, 125 skipped), 28/28 start-up self-test, clean audit (no game data, no byte-identical files), provenance audit passed. Checksums in SHA256SUMS.

Bugs: use the issue template (the release and buildId from BUILD-INFO.json, browser, mode, an exported timeline if you can). Please never attach game files.
