Inspired by Hong Kong action films from the 80s and 90s, COLD BREW is a turn-based, tactical, rogue-like putting you in the shoes of a HK action star who has been cast as the hero in the latest blockbuster. The boring talking segments have already been filmed, but there are still some key action scenes for the big finale that have been left to the last minute. Use your wits and mastery of choreography to act out the scenes so you can finally get this film released!

7DRL 2026 notes:

• Performance greatly varies across different OS/browser combos. Hopefully those playing can reliably get around 60fps, but if not I hope to get a Windows executable version up soon for those to try.
  
• ESC key exits full screen mode on itch.io. Please use BACKSPACE key or <Numpad 5> to cancel targeting.
• There are some issues with python wasm and audio, so the sound/volume option sliders don't work on the web version for all browsers. 
• You can mouse hover most things for more information.

• Entity cache and index management for collisions and positions
• Map management
• Animated entities
