1.0 pre-Launch Information
The 1.0 version of Caves of Qud launches alongside the Dromad Deluxe edition, which includes Caves of Qud, the newly enhanced soundtrack now with over 2 hours of music, and the Pets of Harvest Dawn DLC pack with in-game companions to start the game with. And most importantly, if you purchase the Dromad Deluxe edition, you get a special, shiny, dromad badge on your main menu screen!
If you already own Caves of Qud, dont worry; you can complete the Dromad Deluxe bundle by purchasing the OST and Harvest Dawn pet pack separately.
Weve been working very closely with Mighty Merch to develop a line of Caves of Qud merch that both channels Quds esoteric vibes and features your favorite characters & quotes. The first wave will contain t-shirts, stickers, posters, and pins, with more designs coming in future waves. Please note that these are launching as pre-order items from the Mighty Merch Store.
Starting December 5th, we will be holding a special contest for streamers to celebrate the ending of the main quest in the 1.0 update. Choose your run difficulty and beat the game as quickly as possible in front of an audience to win fabulous Caves of Qud prize packs. This is a contest designed to be streamed and shared with your community. Full details and rules can be found here.
Q: Will the 1.0 update make my old saves incompatible? A: Yes. Due to the nature of 1.0 update, old saves will not be compatible with the new patch on launch day. BUT! You can always continue playing old saves by switching to one of our legacy branches. The currently live branch is 208.x; you can switch to this branch now to avoid updating when the patch drops on December 5th. Q: What is the exact time of launch? A: 9am PT// 12pm ET// 5pm GMT

Caves of Qud is a science fantasy roguelike epic steeped in retrofuturism, deep simulation, and swathes of sentient plants. Come inhabit an exotic world and chisel through layers of thousand-year-old civilizations. Decide: is it a dying earth, or is it on the verge of rebirth?
You arrive at the oasis-hamlet of Joppa, along the far rim of Moghra'yi, the Great Salt Desert. All around you, moisture farmers tend to groves of viridian watervine. There are huts wrought from rock salt and brinestalk. On the horizon, Qud's jungles strangle chrome steeples and rusted archways to the earth. Further and beyond, the fabled Spindle rises above the fray and pierces the cloud-ribboned sky.
You clutch your rifle, or your vibroblade, or your tattered scroll, or your poisonous stinger, or your hypnotized goat. You approach a watervine farmer—he lifts the brim of his straw hat and says, "Live and drink, friend."
Who are you?
Play the role of a mutant indigenous to the salt-spangled dunes and jungles of Qud, or play a pure-strain descendant from one of the few remaining eco-domes—the toxic arboreta of Ekuemekiyye, the Holy City; the ice-sheathed arcology of Ibul; or the crustal mortars of Yawningmoon.You arrive at the oasis-hamlet of Joppa, along the far rim of Moghra'yi, the Great Salt Desert.

What can you do?
Anything and everything. Caves of Qud is a deeply simulated, biologically diverse, richly cultured world.- Assemble your character from over 70 mutations and defects and 24 castes and kits—outfit yourself with wings, two heads, quills, four arms, flaming hands, or the power to clone yourself—it's all the character diversity you could want.
- Explore procedurally-generated regions with some familiar locations—each world is nearly 1 million maps large.
- Dig through everything—don't like the wall blocking your way? Dig through it with a pickaxe, or eat through it with your corrosive gas mutation, or melt it to lava. Yes, every wall has a melting point.
- Hack the limbs off monsters—every monster and NPC is as fully simulated as the player. That means they have levels, skills, equipment, faction allegiances, and body parts. So if you have a mutation that lets you, say, psionically dominate a spider, you can traipse through the world as a spider, laying webs and eating things.
- Pursue allegiances with over 60 factions—apes, crabs, robots, and highly entropic beings—just to name a few.
- Follow the plot to Barathrum the Old, a sentient cave bear who leads a sect of tinkers intent on restoring technological splendor to Qud.
- Learn the lore—there's a story in every nook, from legendary items with storied pasts to in-game history books written by plant historians.
- Die—Caves of Qud is brutally difficult and deaths are permanent. Don't worry, though—you can always roll a new character.
