Michael Brough, born on 20 May 1985, is a New Zealand indie video game developer renowned for his unique roguelike games. His works typically focus intensely on a singular mechanical element within the roguelike genre, often played out on small grids. A notable example of his style is 868-HACK, which has led to his games being referred to as 'Broughlikes'. His creations have been described as both 'corrupted' and 'brilliant' by Wired Magazine, while The Guardian characterized them as 'strange' and 'elegant'.
