The preview now plays through Level 6: the sewers (levels 1–3) and the dwarven ruins (levels 4–6), each certified against the original game running in DOS. The way to Level 7 stays sealed until it passes.

New since 0.205.0

  • Levels 4–6: the dwarven ruins, their encounters and companions, checked step by step against DOS: who joins and in which slot, the dwarven cleric's healing and resurrection, the dwarves' camp.
  • Combat closer to the original: spells you cast hit or miss as the original rolls them; monsters cast only when they face the party within range; ice storm, trap darts and Stoneskin behave as in the original.
  • Picture: the game is shown as on the original monitor (4:3) or with square pixels, with a sharp scaler that keeps every pixel crisp at any window size or display scaling. The Inventory page and party panels are drawn as the original draws them.
  • Enhanced options: Area spell saves count (bug fix), Balanced Stoneskin (extended content, off by default), and a companion who replaces a member picks up that member's items.
  • Saved timelines are much smaller, and older ones still load.

Checks: clean audit (no game data, no byte-identical files), provenance audit passed, public build smoke-tested. 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.
