• September Update - New weapon, audio overhaul, and combat polish - 30 August 2026

  The September playtest is open. Sign up on the store page and jump in! Discuss this update: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3739840/discussions/ Join on Discord: https://discord.gg/hcvGzeWCG3 Gameplay Added a new Standard weapon: Daggers Reworked several aspects of enemy spawning, for more dynamic and varied combat. Heavy attacks are charged now, with an indicator showing where you'll end up. Three new level 1 Conduits Reworked Ascension 8. Previously, A8 increased enemy health scaling further. Now, A8 reduces the chance of health orbs dropping, creating more pressure to develop a healing economy through your conduit build. Boots give movement speed as a base stat instead of shield Added "currently equipped" tooltips for comparison. Reintroduced the leveling system. Audio Comprehensive polish and overhaul of UI sound effects Added more effort sounds to the player hero. Enemies Final comb…

• Build 0.21.1 - Lighting overhaul and UI upgrades - 4 August 2026

  The August playtest is open. Sign up on the store page and jump in! Discuss this update: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3739840/discussions/ Join on Discord: https://discord.gg/hcvGzeWCG3 Welcome to build 0.21.1! A small one in terms of density of changes, yet a large impact on overall game feel. Based on your feedback from the ongoing 0.21 playtest. A key point we heard was the game is too dark. In game development, it's easy to calibrate lighting settings according to developer monitors. But monitors come with a wide variety of brightness and vibrance settings, so we need to adjust to those. We've made the game brighter overall and added a slider to adjust, while preserving the dark atmosphere and pitch-blacks at the corners of the screen. These results aren't final, but let's check it out! Old New W.I.P. https://i.imgur.com/um1AQUs.jpeg Old New W.I.P. https://i.imgur.com/jpdDEzI.jpeg…

• August Update - Playtest, Overhauls, Ascensions, and Controllers! - 2 August 2026

  The August playtest is open. Sign up on the store page and jump in! Discuss this update: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3739840/discussions/ Join on Discord: https://discord.gg/hcvGzeWCG3 These are the notes for build 0.21. It was meant to be a polish pass on everything the July playtest turned up, and it grew a bit. Ring 1 ends on a real boss now, there are ten Ascension levels waiting once you finish a campaign, and the whole game plays on a pad. Same as last time: this is a playtest, not a demo. We want to know what breaks. The big stuff Visual overhaul We've done a huge visual pass across the game, including new enemy animation blends, textures, spell effects, shaders and more. Enjoy! Ascensions Ten levels of New Game+: Win a campaign and the next level unlocks. They stack, so a run at Ascension 4 carries every modifier from 1 through 4. You pick your level on the campaign prep scre…

• The Engulfment - 4 July 2026

  Sign up for the playtest now on the store page! Discuss this update: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3739840/discussions/ Join on Discord: https://discord.gg/hcvGzeWCG3 We fell behind on posting patch notes, so this one covers three builds at once: 0.17, 0.18, and 0.19. Some notes may be post-hoc. The big stuff Rest nodes The flat -25 Danger option is gone. Once per ring, you can instead make traversal between a rest node's connected nodes free of Danger. Chain them together and you get a web of safe passage. The Engulfment Breach nodes and Wardens are gone. In their place: when Danger maxes out, a circle starts closing in toward the inner ring, a bit further every turn. Friendly nodes shutter as it advances, and while you're caught inside it your items get cursed. When that happens, a log scrolls in at the bottom left of the screen so you know exactly what it took from you. Starter Choi…
