IVAN Android brings the classic graphical roguelike Iter Vehemens ad Necem to touch-first Android devices while preserving the original game, art, and unforgiving spirit.

Built for touch

  • Six direct action categories: Directions, Context, Items, Character, Move, and System.
  • Only actions usable in the current situation are surfaced where possible.
  • Tap a category icon to switch immediately; hold the category header to review available sections.
  • Hold a direction to keep moving.
  • Numeric prompts use an on-screen keypad.
  • Menus and equipment screens use large, readable touch targets.

Map and camera

  • Pinch to zoom from a close tactical view all the way out to the complete rendered map.
  • Hold and drag the game canvas to pan around the map.
  • Moving automatically recenters the camera on the player.
  • Map notes can be created, edited, and deleted directly at the selected tile.

Readable mobile interface

  • Stats, messages, game view, and controls are separated into responsive portrait and landscape layouts.
  • The log appears when a new message arrives; hold its single-line banner to open message history.
  • The Character category includes the classic paper-doll equipment view.
  • Readable story, menu, inventory, prompt, help, and map-note text replaces legacy keyboard-sized overlays.

Mobile options

  • Move the directional controller to either side in landscape.
  • Hide Android system bars for an edge-to-edge view that respects camera cutouts.
  • Enable or disable vibration feedback.

I like seeing indie developers sharing their work. Your project definitely has its own personality. How has the response been from players so far? Any feedback that surprised you?

Where is the download link?

Sorry about that, it's back now!

Thank you very much 

Could you add option to hide system info on top such as time and battery? I want a more immersive gameplay. 

Done! You can find the setting in configuration. Let me know of any other requests!

Thanks! I do have some suggestion. In portrait mode, the control panel at the bottom is centered, leaving empty space on both sides. Would placing other control headers on the left and right sides make gameplay more convenient compared to only  using long-press to cycle them?

It is something I thought about! I just dont want it to be too messy down there. I can play with some tabs to see if it looks ok.
I'm also not too happy with landscape mode and only play in portrait. Hopefully I can figure out how to improve landscape view.

Added! Enjoy

Found a bug, the notes on the map are being blocked. Also, is it possible to make the game display in the notch area at the top of the screen as well? Just like in the other game screenshots I sent. You can see there's always a black area in notch screen. 

Fixed! Enjoy

Thanks for your great work! But download file seems disappear, i can't find it on game page.


Sorry about that, it's back now!
