- In progress: Hub rework - 26 March 2026
A fully spatial hub can add a lot: stronger sense of place, pacing between runs, more world presence, and room for social or training-oriented interactions. At the same time, we do not want core player actions to become slower just because they are wrapped in a 3D space.Because of that, we are currently leaning toward a hybrid approach: keeping the parts that benefit from physical presence in the 3D hub, while moving routine, high-frequency actions into UI. For us, the goal is not to choose between immersion and usability, but to find the point where both can support each other.If a hub works well, it feels like part of the game. If it works poorly, it becomes one more layer between the player and the next run.

- Welcome to the Pre-Alpha Unfinal! - 13 October 2025
Of course, very few products launch without bugs, and we are no exception. The following issues and bugs are currently known and are what we plan to fix:UI during Trickster purchase and body change: User interface problems have been detected.Loot from quick access slots: Items cannot leave the dungeon after a raid and stubbornly remain there.Lighting: The lighting manager is slow to react to location changes.

- Survive in the dungeon - 24 September 2025
Not everyone who enters a dungeon leaves it. If you outsmart the traps… if you slay the beasts… if you reach the Trove and make it back alive… then the reward is yours. The treasures of other souls become yours. Their strength becomes your strength.Victory in a raid is always more than loot. It is a step toward making your own dungeon richer in gold, and your soul tougher, craftier, more enduring.
- Greed calls you deeper. Death waits closer. - 19 September 2025
You step into the darkness not because you are brave. You are led by greed. Greed for gold you will never have the time to spend. I do not collect treasures. These earthly trinkets mean nothing to me. My passion is souls. And every one of them always crawls to me on its own.
- Not enough gold to build a dungeon? Why not take it from someone else? - 14 September 2025
When you decide to go on a Raid, remember — there will be no maps, no clues. There will only be darkness, danger, and someone else's will, waiting for your mistake. Every room here aims to confuse you. Every trap will test your focus. Every monster will be waiting for your appearance. If you survive, you will claim the gold you so desire. If you die, you will leave your soul to everyone. A raid is simply a game with only two bets. Either you will seize someone else's wealth, or you will forfeit your own life.
- Loneliness is mine. Betrayal is yours. - 9 September 2025
«I live within the walls I've built, yet I'm still imprisoned by them. My eternity is desolate of anyone. Only the shattered remains of souls swirl around, dissipating as they go. But you, you convince yourselves that together is safer. You're fools. In the darkness, someone is always watching you. A monster? No. Me? Don’t be ridiculous. The one you trusted most is the one following you. The one who wouldn't think twice about stabbing you through the heart.» — The Entity
- Your dungeon is a labyrinth. Your will shapes it. - 7 September 2025
Each dungeon is composed of modules — rooms and corridors — which you combine to form your own deadly labyrinth. Among these, two constants stand out: The Entrance — the place where hope is born. The Trove — where that hope dies along with everything else. All the elements in between are yours: crossroads, dead ends, traps, and monsters. These are the tools you wield to build your fortress. Every step in this labyrinth reflects your intent. And every soul that fails to reach the Trove will leave its reward behind for you.
- Build. Raid. Die. - 5 September 2025
«You call it a dungeon. I see it as a reflection of your soul, made of traps, monsters, and shadows of your fears. You open the doors, seeking the blood of strangers. Others will enter to uncover what you hide, risking fire, poison, and spikes in their desperation to test their strength. You will venture into their dungeons, knowing each step could be your last. This isn’t just a game; it’s a continuous cycle of death. Remember: in my world, there are no winners — only those who die later.» — The Entity
