Curse of the Dead Gods belongs in the roguelike conversation because its corruption meter, light-and-dark combat, weapon drops, room routes, and curse tradeoffs make every reward feel slightly contaminated. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.

Why it matters
Curse of the Dead Gods matters because it makes risk-reward visible and thematic instead of just numerical.
