Quine
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
A 7DRL created by Jeff Lait and Faesu for the 2026 7DRL Challenge.
Quine
Where the only thing more dangerous than the monsters is Deja Vu.
You have been sent into a dungeon on a mission to retrieve the spell of escape from the bottom. Only when you have this memorized will you be allowed to leave the dungeon.
Care must be taken! They say you can never come home again; but if somehow you do, you will enter a quine state and trace a perpetual loop.

Notes:
- On Windows; if DPI Scaling is on; the initial window may be too large. Press F11 for full screen or turn off DPI Scaling on quine.exe's properties.
- The LOVE launcher can be used to run on non-Windows platforms. Androids and Linux have been tested.

Itch launcher on Windows fails to invoke the Windows executable while love files exist in the installation. This can be solved by managing files and manually deleting `quine.love` and the `src` directory.
Thank you for the alert! TIL Itch has a launcher! :>
From reading, I think the right approach is to add a manifest to direct the launcher to the right location. I want to distribute the love files as that is what you need under Linux, Android and other platforms. (Technically windows users could also just use the quine.love if they have love installed)
A manifest would work. The issue is that Itch sees the love file first and then fails to search for the Love engine on %PATH% rather than fallback to the Windows executable.
I personally would've distributed the love file variant separately from the Windows executable rather than put them both in the same archive.
