Development update

Release date

We have to push the release date to 2026. There is simply too much we want to add to the game, and we don't want to risk rushing it. There has been a lot of interest in the game (thank you!) so we want to make sure it's a good one.

Demo update

In a few weeks, we will release a huge update to the demo! Look forward to:
  • Exploring the Catacombs, a brand new dungeon with a new final boss.
  • Venturing into trap doors in search for treasure.
  • Lots of new items, Oaths, units, and enemies!

Hotfix

[h2]Fixes:[/h2]
  • Fix run end stat screen display of Apocalypse / Glitch threat levels
  • Attempt fix for broken item rolls (e.g. incorrect tier, or invalid item)

Thorns and resource tracking hotfix

This is a minor update to:
  • Fix Jagged Carapace (it was scaling based on the enemy armor value)
  • Fix resource tracking on the run end stat screen
