The Dungeon-Delver's Guide To The Haunted Keep
It's not sci-fi, but it IS a building-block for future sci-fi development.
The Haunted Keep is a dungeon-crawler in the tradition of games like Gauntlet and Dungeon Master.
Players advance through a complex dungeon, seeking the exit while defeating enemies, searching for secrets, and collecting treasure.
