The article looks like they're trying to say how awesome their game is.

Any TECHNICAL difference between that and, say, a decent rogue-like algorithm? I have a feeling that it's scaled-up rather than technical up.

Also, couldn't see a GitHub link, so I'm assuming this is proprietary and therefore have no reason to trust whatever they say.

Yeah, it's like they are making a miracle of "the result of rolling a die is a surprise, even to the person who rolled the die".
