+=head1 NAME
+
+hydraslayer - roguelike game with combat system based on math puzzles
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<hydraslayer> I<[-options]> I<[-N -noteye_options]>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Hydra Slayer is a Roguelike game focused on one thing: slaying Hydras. It
+is inspired by Greek mythology, Dungeon Crawl, MathRL seven day roguelike,
+and some mathematical puzzles about brave heroes slaying many headed
+beasts. Hydra Slayer features an original combat system, based on
+mathematical puzzles. Since Hydra Slayer is a flagship roguelike for
+NotEye, the two are distributed together.
+
+This man page doesn't attempt to document gameplay. To learn the game,
+select the tutorial from the game's menu system.
