Accessibility Instructions
The process of adding accessibility features to the nethack.org website will be ongoing for the rest of 2026 and probably into 2027. Please report errors in these features (but not missing features or features that only work on some pages) to us with this link to the Contact Form, and be patient. Thank you.
Below this paragraph is a table of controls to change accessibility settings. For each row, the left column is the name of the control and the right column is a vertical stack of radio buttons for the values of the control. After the controls is some text from the NetHack Guidebook showing how it looks with these settings.
Recently, you have begun to find yourself unfulfilled and distant in your daily occupation. Strange dreams of prospecting, stealing, crusading, and combat have haunted you in your sleep for many months, but you aren't sure of the reason. You wonder whether you have in fact been having those dreams all your life, and somehow managed to forget about them until now. Some nights you awaken suddenly and cry out, terrified at the vivid recollection of the strange and powerful creatures that seem to be lurking behind every corner of the dungeon in your dream. Could these details haunting your dreams be real?
