Patch 1.5 is here! Along with controller support and Steam Deck verification, this update adds several QoL fixes and enhancements based on suggestions and feedback from the community. The full patch notes are listed below. Thanks for playing, and I hope you enjoy the new features! Patch 1.5 Notes
Hello Chrysalis community! I just pushed a Beta release for controller support on all platforms! To opt-in, right click Chrysalis in your Steam library and go to Properties. Then go to the Betas tab and select "patch1.5-beta". You might also need to tell Steam to treat your controller like a normal gamepad: go to the Controller tab to do that. Click the "Controller Configurator" link. Change the template to "Gamepad" (instead of Keyboard/Mouse). Load the game, plug in your controller (if necessary) and go to Options. Change your input method to Controller. The keybinds will be listed below that. You may want to re-enable Game Tips to relearn the controls since there are some differences between the mouse/kb and controller schemes. IMPORTANT NOTE: your beta saves are NOT backwards compatible with the normal game. You will be able to load your current saved game and saved options, but if you swap back to the non-beta version of the game, your saves/options will no longer work. Your achievements and scores will not be affected. If you want to save your current game and options before switching to the beta, go to your saves folder (listed below) and rename your save.dat and opt.dat files to something else like "save-old.dat" and "opt-old.dat". After playing, please post about your experience here in the comments, on the Steam forums, or on Discord. I'm especially interested in the experience of Steam Deck users since I don't have one myself. Thanks in advance!
I just pushed another small update. Patch notes are listed below. We had a huge influx of new players from YouTuber PotatoMcWhiskey's latest video, which helped us hit the New & Trending list on the front page of Steam! I think I'm still in shock I hope everyone is enjoying the game! Mr. McWhiskey's video is linked below the patch notes - check it out if you have time! Also, come hang out on Discord: https://discord.gg/Ehjzmtv5rx Patch Notes:
I'm seeing some mysterious crashes which I believe may be related to the recent Windows Update 24H2. I'm releasing this hotfix to hopefully alleviate some of those issues. This also includes a couple of small balance changes and other bug fixes. If you run into any further crashes please send your .dmp files to me using the instructions in this forum post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1594210/discussions/0/3191364340729765684/ [olist]
I released a small balance/bug-fix patch today with the following changes:
I just pushed a minor hotfix patch to prevent some additional crashes/bugs that popped up.
I'm excited to announce the release of the Chrysalis Original Soundtrack on streaming services! You can find the Spotify album here, or search your favorite streaming service to find it there.
It's the perfect music for sleeping, yoga, or sleep yoga!
In other news, I uploaded a hotfix yesterday that prevents some crashes that occurred when loading a saved game. If you ran into any issues, make sure you have the game fully updated and try to load your save again. Let me know if you have any issues!
I am keeping an eye on all feedback in Discord and the community forums and making notes for potential updates in the future. Thank you for playing!!
The day has finally arrived! Chrysalis is officially released, and I'm happy to finally share the game with you! Join us on Discord to hang out and discuss with other players: https://discord.gg/Ehjzmtv5rx.

The Demo and Playtest builds have been updated with all new Follower mechanics and UI, as well as some bug fixes and other changes. We would love your feedback on the updates, which you can read about in detail below!
Development continues on the latest Beta build! Since the Demo release, I have been working on adding more content and features to the Beta Playtest for continued testing and refinement. We've added new Metamorphoses for almost all species in the game, new Spirits, Boons, Blessings, level generation variations, and much more!
In addition, Chrysalis will be part of the Earth Appreciation Fest hosted by indie publishers Mechanistry and Slug Disco. You can also find the game in the Endless Replayability Fest hosted by Steam next month!
Here are the latest updates to the Demo build, available NOW! Important Note: this build is save-breaking. You will not be able to load your saves from the previous version of the Demo, but things like Achievements and Scores will remain untouched.

Here are the patch notes for the latest Demo build (1.6). Saves from this build are incompatible with previous versions, so you may want avoid updating before finishing your current run.
The official demo for Chrysalis is now available for Windows/Linux/Mac! Can you get through the first 3 levels of the game and defeat the 1st boss? Since the levels are procedurally generated, you can get quite a bit of replay value just from the demo itself. I hope you have fun with it! And you can head over to our Discord to meet other players, strategize, and report any bugs you might find: https://discord.gg/Ehjzmtv5rx Here's the demo trailer: [previewyoutube=g53_5toVxcQ;full][/previewyoutube]
Beta 1.0 of Chrysalis has officially arrived! The big addition in this update is the 3rd monster faction: the Nox. This new faction is themed around the underworld and undeath and includes 4 new monsters with 3 additional metamorphoses, 2 new bosses, and new enemy defensive growths. In addition to the Nox faction, there are also new boons and growths to collect, as well as a rework of some of the early abilities for several lower level friendly creatures. As we prepare for the October Next Fest, we are in need of additional playtesters to help us refine the gameplay and squash any lingering bugs that may remain. You can request access to the Playtest via the main Steam page, and join us on Discord here: https://discord.gg/Ehjzmtv5rx. Thanks for playing!
Here are the patch notes for Alpha 4.4:
Alpha 4.2 is now available! Here are the latest patch notes:
We have finally added achievements, as well as some fun new Major Blessings for each Chrysalis. There have been some substantial balancing tweaks for the early game, so please feel free to offer feedback about your experience with the changes. Here are the patch notes for Alpha 4.1:
The latest Playtest Alpha build is available for all playtesters! This is a small update that adds 6 new monsters to the late game. Each one is an "upgraded" version of one of the previous monster metamorphoses. For example, the Pox's "Bruiser" monster can now metamorphose into the "Bonecrusher", which has a charged-up AoE blast attack that throws enemies backwards. In addition, there have been several bug fixes and tweaks in this latest version. Let me know if you run into any issues. Crash logs can be uploaded to Discord or sent via email to MetamorphGamesLLC@gmail.com. I hope you enjoy the latest build! Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/Ehjzmtv5rx - Alex
Alpha 3 is now available for playtesting! Have a look at the patch notes below for all the latest features and fixes. Join our Discord server to chat with the developer and other players: https://discord.gg/Ehjzmtv5rx
Playtest Alpha 2 is now available for all playtesters! I finally managed to get the Linux and Mac versions running through Steam, so if you have access to either of those OSes and you're interested in helping out, fire up the game and let me know if you run into any major issues. Since those builds are newer, I'm expecting that issues will pop up. I'll keep an eye on the community forums and Discord, as always. If you aren't currently signed up for the playtest and would like to join, head over to the main store page and click "Request Access". Here are the updates for Playtest Alpha 2:
I'm excited to introduce Chrysalis, a hybrid tower-defense/survival RPG set in a world of natural mythology, with an emphasis on procedural generation, customizability, and replayability. Play the role of an incorporeal Wisp tasked with defending a magical chrysalis against forces of corruption and darkness. Search for resources and enlist the aid of friendly plants and animals as you explore each randomly generated level. Fend off waves of monsters, with each level offering new challenges, specialized wave types, procedurally generated bosses, and more. Chrysalis will soon begin an alpha testing phase using the new Steam Playtest feature. Click the "Request Access" button on the store page to join the next group of playtesters!
