I knew I'd dodged a bullet farming this off onto you It's a shame that this game didn't pan out. Recently there's been a lot of interesting things done with Roguelikes and the genre as a whole is in resurgence because of things like FTL and recently Sunless Sea. I remember seeing (or reading; one of the two) that Tolagal allowed you to rescue people who would fight alongside you for a while and thought that sounded like an interesting mechanic. Guess not!
For us. For them. For you.
