You control a crash-landed space courier in a fast-paced, difficult rogue-lite where permadeath and procedurally generated levels test your survival skills, while a narrator's dry humor turns the tension into dark comedy.

What players say
Players describe Contingency as a Mega Man-inspired run-and-gun roguelite that is simple in concept but hard to master. They praise the variety of enemies and suit upgrades that allow different playstyles, while noting occasional framerate issues and a final boss that gets easier the more you progress.
