The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles News

A new beta is here!

This time it’s not just about fixing a few pesky bugs (though yes, we’ve done that too – huge thanks to everyone who reported them!), but also about making The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles even better to look at—and to play.

From the frontlines of full game development:
We’ve reached level 49! Only one more to go before the entire campaign is complete. After that: balancing, fine-tuning, and final polish. The release is getting closer... get ready, adventurers!

Here’s what’s new in this beta:
- Custom backgrounds for each biome: they don’t affect gameplay, but the dungeon has never looked this good!
- Trap previews (fire jets, spikes, and more): Resolver and Explorer profiles will now get a brief visual hint before certain traps trigger. A small advantage... before the pain.
- Screen shake effects during traps (when taking damage) and combat (on critical hits). Naturally, there’s a toggle if you prefer a more stable experience.
- New loading screen backgrounds, now clearly visible thanks to a refreshed layout.
- All journal illustrations have been added—ready to be browsed through.
- Many player-reported bugs have been fixed—thank you so much! You’re our favorite bugbusters! ❤️

As always, feel free to drop by our Discord server if you want to chat, share feedback, or just say hi!

See you soon, and happy dungeon crawling!

Hey everyone!
This weekend we were at Torino Comics, playing “at home” and letting tons of visitors try the new demo.
We got loads of feedback, tips, and appreciation — and we’re proud to say the full redesign of the controller interface really paid off.
Now everything is fully playable with a controller, but we also optimized the experience overall: combat is smoother and less chaotic (even with mouse and keyboard), inventory management is easier, and there are plenty of other improvements you’ll discover as you play.
Yes, because the demo we showed at Torino Comics is now available on Steam — for everyone!

Enjoy!

Here’s what’s new:
- The combat screen got a full redesign: it’s now clearer, easier to read, and less overwhelming! You can pick powers or use belt items in a dedicated screen, with auto-pause until you're done.
- Controller support is finally done right: intuitive commands, smooth response, and tons of visual hints to guide you right away.
- A brand-new animated intro has arrived — and trust us, it’s worth watching… maybe start a new game? 👀✨
- With the big UI overhaul, we also took the chance to squash a few old minor bugs. Hopefully we didn’t add new ones! (If you find anything that crashes, glitches, or breaks… you know what to do: report it!)

We’re also waiting for you on our Discord server for more details and discussions.

💻 Big news: the demo of The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles now supports more platforms!

We’re thrilled to announce that our game’s demo is now compatible with macOS, giving all Apple computer users access to the fun.

Full Apple Silicon support: All Macs can now run the demo smoothly and effortlessly.
Also compatible with Intel-based Macs: Mac computers with Intel processors are fully supported too.
But that’s not all! 🎉

The demo is also available on Linux, providing a seamless experience for users of this platform.

Additionally, we’ve worked hard to ensure the game runs perfectly on Steam Deck (it used to “kind of” work; now it works great)!

Whatever your operating system, dive into the madness of the craziest, weirdest, most bizarre, surreal, wild, eccentric, chaotic, unpredictable, extravagant, funny, energetic, hilarious, absurd, mind-blowing, over-the-top, and delirious dungeon ever!
