Sort of! (Well...probably.)
From all indications, as Angband did so many years ago, the game aims to succeed the original Moria which had quite an impact on the developer. From my chats with him, and is evident on the website, he's thrown a weighty amount of years and hard work into the project which finally made it to release around the beginning of this year. A release that sadly seems to have even less people aware of it than Scallywag mentioned in the other topic.
Unfortunately, I've not yet seen any proper discussions crop up around the title anywhere, even the free demo. Not many Moria/Band folks around Roguetemple and a host of other things eating peoples time like Crawl. I would reckon, ironically, the Angband audience here would be the best shot at getting things hopping---as back in the day it was the appeal of an evolution of sorts to Moria that got people into Angband proper. Besides, consider the historical implications: Not since Angband, to my knowledge, has there been a Moria variant/evolution attempt. Angband has tons, but not old Moria outside the whole uMoria maintenance thing which confuses me greatly and seems about as invisible as Jaunt Trooper, being that nothing can be so very, depressingly invisible as Jaunt Trooper.
Compounding this, for some infuriating reason, I've never been able to get the game to boot up properly on my old PC here, so I've been unable to delve into the demo, let alone purchase the full version in good conscience, to see what there is to be seen. I'm aiming to get a modern PC in a few more weeks at long last, but still: I'd LOVE to see actual indepth impressions, descriptions of the systems used---pretty much anything and everything to vicariously wrap my head around the title gestalt'ish style. Even if just the demo, based on the gameplay video onsite, I want to believe there's much potential in here for good times.
Any takers here in oook land?

At this point, there's not even screenshot of the ingame documentation/help/instructions out there, let alone writeup impressions/YASD(VP)/AAR's.
