• New Demo for Unexplored 2 is now available - 1 June 2022

  Unexplored 2 is a unique game in many ways, very different to Unexplored 1. It's also a game that is a bit hard to explain. It's a node-based open-world, procedurally generated RPG, with perma-death, but also not... To make it easier to decide whether or not you should buy the game: play the demo. It's a pretty unrestricted piece of the game. You can quest, adventure and explore three regions of the world that the game generates especially for you. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1095040/Unexplored_2_The_Wayfarers_Legacy/ Before playing the demo, you could read these tips: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1095040/view/3336616951943536051 Or watch one of these introductory videos that explain the basics of the game very well:

• Unexplored 2 is now available - 28 May 2022

  Dear players! More than five years after the release of Unexplored, the sequel launched on Steam. Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy shares a lot of design goals with its predecessor, it has the same lead designer and same composer, but all in all, Unexplored 2 is a different beast. For starters, it's fully 3D. Characters have two eyes (which I jokingly say it's to be able to perceive the aforementioned third dimension). It's outside (mostly, but dungeons are still a big part of the game) Combat is way less important. RPG mechanics are more important. The amulet of Yendor now is the Staff of Yendor (which you carry with you all the time) (and which you have to destroy eventually) A new approach to perma-death... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1095040/Unexplored_2_The_Wayfarers_Legacy/ https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/26255/Unexplored_2_Digital_Deluxe_Edition/ Anyway, here's a…

• Rogue-lite adventure Unexplored 2 has launched in early access - 11 June 2021

  The sequel to rather good rogue-like Unexplored is exiting the development dungeon and heading out into the world of early access today. Action RPG Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy continues with Unexplored's excellent generated worlds but with a new legacy system and a very, very pretty look. It's just launched in early access with plans for new quests and other content. I admit that small fellas holding up torches in front of giant doors is one of my favorite game genres so Unexplored 2 is really calling my number here. Read more

• A trio of top-down Dungeon Crawlers reviewed, one old, one new and one coming soon - 25 May 2021

  I was recently offered a beta key for the upcoming Ampers@t dungeon crawler and then a curator key for the recently released Ouroboros Dungeon. What better time, then, to also review the classic crawler, Unexplored?

• Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy to explore the surface next year - 10 June 2019

  Another reveal during E3’s PC Gaming Show, Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer’s Legacy is sequel to one of my favourite action-roguelikes of all time. The original Unexplored was purely limited to subterranean dungeons, but the sequel is expanding the action out into the wider world, and assembling adventures that span multiple generations, hence the ‘legacy’ part of the title. The sequel has a completely new look, upgrading from minimalist 2D to sharply shaded top-down 3D. It’s out next year, and developers Ludomotion are running a Fig crowdfunding campaign with a demo for backers, though it’ll still get made even if it’s not fully funded. Below, the debut trailer.

• Unexplored mod BOILINGHOT lets you delve at your own pace - 18 February 2019

  Much as I love Ludomotion’s real-time roguelike Unexplored , I’m acutely aware that a lot of people bounced off it because it’s a lot to process all at once. Enter BOILINGHOT , a SUPERHOT -inspired mod by “YellowAfterlife” which might just help the less twitchy amongst us. As with the stylish first-person shooter, time moves at a crawl – ten percent of normal – but speeds up to the game’s usual frantic pace when you’re swinging a weapon or moving. Below, a trailer for the mod, plus some thoughts on the nature of slowdown in games as a system and accessibility aid. (more…)

• There is a SUPERHOT-esque mod for Unexplored - 17 February 2019

That's the principal behind super cool game Superhot. Vlad 'YellowAfterlife' wrote a little mod that puts that same principle into Unexplored. See it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNpEsA_0j4U You can download the mode here: https://yellowafterlife.itch.io/boiling-hot Checkout the source code here: https://github.com/YellowAfterlife/BoilingHot The mod was inspired by a little video we released a couple of days ago in which we show Unexplored at 10% of the recorded speed (here's the youtube-version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hEFa9Zg4Xc Here's Vlad's original tweet on the mod: https://twitter.com/YellowAfterlife/status/1097209848918409217

We have been extremely busy with our next main project and the console releases of Unexplored. But, we've certainly not forgotten our beloved Steam version. So, after quite a while, here's the next update. As, always, please let us know what you think in the forums. We may not be hanging around there as much as in the beginning, but we do read your comments. The game is nearing it's second birthday, so we hope this is one of the final bug fixing updates we need to push. Game Balance Tuned down the number of Nightmare Boars. Bug Fixes: Another stab at solving the steam cloud save issues. More feedback if you read a Tome and nothing happens. Meteoric Iron stacks up to 3 (not 6).

However, we've recently updated the game with a number of optimizations and bug fixes and will continue to do so. We'd like to thank everyone who posts bugs and feature requests in the forum. We do read them all, and we do really appreciate them! We're going to release the game for Linux sooner or later. The Mac-release has become somewhat uncertain due to the fact that Apple decided to get rid of OpenGL. We…

• Unexplored s free Dark Ritual DLC is like playing reverse roguelike Cluedo - 1 August 2018

  Unexplored remains one of the best real-time roguelikes out there. Inspired heavily by the tactile but stat-lite Brogue , it inspired a gushing review from Adam, and was one of my Game of the Year nominees for 2017. It was great back then, and thanks to developers Ludomotion’s steady content updates, even better now. Today marks the release of the third and final major free DLC – The Dark Ritual – after a long period of beta testing. It’s an odd one, stretching the game’s story and map-generating systems into an offbeat Lovecraftian murder-mystery. (more…)

• New free DLC: The Dark Ritual - 1 August 2018

This is yet another way of playing Unexplored and this time you arrive at a Cultist's mansion to stop them from summoning a Great Old One! Gather clues about the nature of the ritual, and find the right method to stop them before it is all too late. Every time you change locations, time advances, and as the clock approaches midnight, foul magics start tearing at the very fabric of reality. After installing you find The Dark Ritual in Special Runs in the menu. As always: let us know what you think in the comments! Update We've also pushed an update live which focuses on performance.

• Podcast: Being a critic makes games better (and worse) - 19 April 2018

  Oh no. Somebody sound the journalists discussing journalism klaxon. Rattle it as loudly and furiously as possible, because the RPS podcast, the Electronic Wireless Show , is talking about how being a critic changes the way we play. Don t blame us, blame listener Aleksei, who sent in the theme as a suggestion. But please also forgive Adam, because it s his last showing on the podcast (he s leaving RPS next week) so he deserves a bit of self-indulgence. (more…)

We can't wait to see what you think of Unexplored-to-go. What does this mean for the Steam edition? In short: nothing, really. The last (free) DLC, called "The Dark Ritual" will launch soon after the Switch release. We will bring Unexplored to Mac and Linux. And we will continue to support the game with updates and fixes when needed. So, there's that: in the not too distant future Unexplored will be playable on PC, Mac, Linux and Nintendo Switch. And the Steam-version will continue to be supported. We'd like to thank our players for their continued support and their forgiveness for the occasional bug, we'll keep squashing them!
