3D realtime raytraced dungeon crawl using libtcod.
Hopefully I'm in time for US'ians looking to kill a little time of a Friday
afternoon ;)

Recent tectonic activity in central America has unearthed Very
Old Things under New Mexico, the site of the ancient Aztec city
of Tenochtitlan.
As a jetsetting plunderer of historic artefacts, you were taking
some ill-deserved R'n'R down in New Mexico at the time, and just
so happened to be sipping tequila outside a seedy terrace cafe
when the ground around you fractured and the air was torn with
the sickening noise of yielding rock and earth.
As plumes of dust began to billow up from the fissure, you had
the presence of mind to whip out your trusty iPhone. A quick
trip to Wikipedia confirmed your suspicions - you were surely
standing above the tomb of legendary warrior Popocatepetl.
Further research was hindered by the collapse of all nearby
cell towers, and with the briefest pause to drain your tequila
and grab your trusty Fireball Cannon from the cafe table, you
leapt into the gaping maw of the tomb.
You soon realised the outer level you had landed in was merely
an antechamber to the tomb complex. Scouting around, you
eventually came upon a trapdoor leading down into the tombs.
NOW, you are pausing to collect yourself before venturing forth.
Like any bold tomb-raiding adventurer, you have one priority --
relieve the tomb of it's treasure and get the hell out of there.
YOUR MISSION: Descend to the lowest level of the tomb complex
and retrieve THE ORB OF POPOCATEPETL, then return to the surface.
Anything else you meet down there can be considered hostile -
except chests. We like chests. Mmmmmmmmmm, chests.

You will need a fast PC running Windows I'm afraid; suggest 2Ghz+.
See included readme for controls, a project log and notes. I'll release the
source if people want it.
I'm deeply sorry for the Windows-only binary. It compiles fine on Linux but
currently segfaults; hopefully I can rectify that in a follow-up release.
Bestest,
Iain
