About:

Every South African was once a kid sitting in class hearing endless repetitions of phrases like "Om te beklemtoom" and "a² = b² + c²", and before we knew it we were done with our lessons and fighting to get a good mark on our final exams.

Put yourself in the position of a South African student, navigating what feels like a never-ending high-school experience, where new problems arise every lesson, but so does the chances for development. 

Make your way through an enigma of classrooms, each of which represents a different subject, including Music, Maths and Afrikaans, fighting through each subject in the hopes to gain more knowledge.  Face a variety of enemies, such as strict teachers, awful exam failure papers, and bullies that we all came in contact with won a daily basis in high-school. 

Halls of Havoc teaches you that although overcoming academic challenges can be difficult and very, very tedious, having fun, maintaining an optimistic mindset and upgrading your skills in each subject can help you get through it. Develop the courage and character required to overcome obstacles in the future with each reset/loop. 

In this Rogue Lite game, fight your way through each lesson, pick up knowledge on your way and upgrade yourself to prepare to take on your Final Exams! How many loops will it take you to get to them?
