Variants including Gensou Band and Tangband, and Rogue in a Japanese-localized version, can also be played through it, with the same option to switch to an FPS-style viewpoint. In Hengband proper, the starting frontier town is drawn as a town with more width than the text display suggests, and the early quest The Tongueless Witness is rendered in 3D.
