Greetings, dwellers! We're immensely grateful for the unwavering support and feedback from our incredible community. Your hunger for more content fueled our drive to expand the depths of the game. Thank you for being the heartbeat of "Deepest Chamber: Resurrection"! We're ecstatic to introduce a thrilling addition in this latest patch: the all-new Random Party game mode!
Random Party Mode:
Seek the unknown with a team of 3 random characters. Prepare for unexpected synergies and daring challenges as you venture deeper into the abyss! The Random Party mode can be activated from the Embark screen, right next to the Death Run switch! As you embark on quests with the Random Party mode, we invite you to share your experiences and thoughts in the comments section. Your feedback is our compass, guiding us toward crafting even more thrilling adventures! But wait, there's more brewing in the depths! We're hard at work concocting further content, and surprises that will push the boundaries of your dungeon-crawling descents. Stay tuned for updates and keep those suggestions coming! Delve deeper, gather your courage, and remember, the comments section eagerly awaits your tales of triumph and challenge in the Random Party mode! Adventure awaits, dwellers!
Dear dwellers,
Firstly, we'd like to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for making the past three weeks since launch an absolutely enchanting journey. Your support, feedback, and unwavering enthusiasm have truly made Deepest Chamber a spellbinding adventure.
With this patch, we're introducing some QoL improvements as well as a much awaited Controller Support revamp.
But before that, let's take a look at what's happened in the depths of Dolmin over the past three weeks:
Telemetry has certainly helped us understand our own game better, so we'd like to dedicate a major thanks to those dwellers that are sharing their data with us!
In some more clear examples of how this data has helped us rebalance the game and make it better, we noticed that players' health on difficulty 1 almost never went down during the Needle or Quartermaster fights, as the graph above shows player's health situation during those fights, so we had to adjust those two fights to make them more interesting.
With that out of the way, here's what's new in our latest patch:
Controller support just got better
Thanks to your feedback, we're pushing a new update regarding controller support later today. We went a bit overboard with the initial implementation and made it feel too much like an extension of a mouse, which resulted in a pretty tedious gameplay experience and that's not what we wanted. We've ironed out most of those kinks and after today's update, playing the game with a controller should feel much, much better. We still have a couple of other 'quality of life' improvements in mind, but please let us know how you like the changes weve implemented so far by commenting here or on our Discord server.
What's Brewing in Deepest Chamber: Resurrection
In our cauldron of upcoming updates, here's a sneak peek at what's stirring:

[previewyoutube=WRFMYbufC9k;full][/previewyoutube]
What's new in the 1.0 release?
- The Catacombs Biome: - In the forgotten catacombs beneath Dolmin, a once-sacred burial site lies shrouded in secrecy. When the Pope arrives on a mission to sway the non-believers towards his pious ways, he is perturbed by the citys lack of faith. Thus, aided by his cardinals, he decides to sift the righteous from the lost. To keep the residents in check, he erects a powerful magical dome, preventing all who try to flee. However, in an unexpected twist of faith, a mysterious force hinders the Pope from recalling the dome once his work is done. A malevolent force is clearly at play, and the only way to fight back is by venturing ever deeper into these accursed Catacombs
- Wen, The Necromancer: A high-ranking practitioner of forbidden knowledge, Wen commands the chilling power of necromancy, controlling life and death with eerie skill. Although her childhood remains a mystery, the Academys records state that she and her fellow acolytes concealed their dark practices from the disapproving grandmasters. Eventually, dark magic gained acceptance through the Queen's approval, sparking conflicts between 'light' and 'dark' magic students. In hushed tones, people spoke of a secret dark magic sect in Dolmin, with Wen being somehow inexorably involved in its unholy arts.
- Endgame content: The ultimate fight draws near As the mysterious forces that ensnared the city come within reach, the last pieces of the puzzle start falling into place. Delve deep into the Catacombs, gear up, and brace yourselves for what lies ahead!
- Full Controller Support: Mouse + keyboard or Controller? Pick your weapon of choice!

The depths are rarely as they seem. They change and shift, with murky waters flooding some chambers while revealing others that have been closed off for eons. The Inner Workings Update reflects the ever-changing nature of the depths by bringing forth a series of balance changes that we believe improve upon pretty much every aspect of the game. As promised, Its another big update so read with care before venturing back into the darkness.
Card Boosting
Almost every card has been altered to make card boosting even more fun and engaging. In the previous iterations, some cards had exceedingly high boost levels. This made it difficult to fully boost these cards in most encounters, preventing players from using them to their full potential.
We also redesigned boost levels to be more useful, since some had too little of an impact during play. A good example of this is the Wizards basic Fireball. In old versions, if you fully boosted the card, you had to play it in order to gain an extra Scorch card. Now, when you fully boost a Fireball card, you immediately gain that Scorch card. You can expect to see a lot of usability improvements such as this.
Enemy Encounters
Every normal and elite encounter has been thoroughly reworked. Now, most encounters have a unique mechanic that you can engage with in a meaningful manner. Early game battles now often offer helping mechanics. A good example for such a mechanic is the Fallen Knights elite encounter, where, at a certain round, both enemies will try to attack the heroes with a high damage move. However, it is at this time that a new card named Follow Orders is added to your hand. When fully boosted,this card will make the knights attack each other instead of the party, giving you some much needed respite.
Visual aids have also been added for Encounters, with their main mechanics now being showcased before battle with new 3D animations.
Archetype connecting cards
To add another layer of synergy between our party members, we created 3 powerful archetype cards for each of our heroes. A good example of such a card is the priests Corruptors Surge. This card will spread a corruption debuff to all enemies when any card in your hand becomes fully boosted. Combining Corruptors Surge with the warriors Steed of Honor creates a powerful combo because Steed of Honor also augments the warriors rage when the heroes apply a debuff to enemies.
These cards can be played in various combinations to grant powerful effects to your party.
Trinkets
We felt like a lot of the old trinkets had too little impact on gameplay, so we decided to introduce some new trinkets and also redesigned the old ones to be more impactful and synergize better with various mechanics. A good example of this is the Wine Barrel trinket, which deals a huge amount of damage to all enemies when you manage to play every single card in your hand. Combining the Wine Barrel with cards that can be boosted to zero energy creates a brutal damage output. And if you are lucky enough, the new Azure Crystal trinket now selects a card in your hand at random to add a -1 energy boost level to it. This makes the setup for the Wine Barrel combo even easier to put in place.
The Map
The new map has more connections between nodes and better pacing. Each depth is more condensed. Instead of 2 bosses, the new map has 4 bosses. Biomes also make their appearance in a more natural order when you delve further below. You are now also able to collect more trinkets during your run than in previous versions, making it easier to create powerful builds. Negative zone effects have been completely removed because we felt that they acted more like an inconvenience than a tactical element. Once a boss is defeated your party is fully healed. This change alone creates a better combat experience, allowing you to play out your strategies instead of worrying constantly about your diminishing health points.
User Interface
The UI has been adorned with dozens of changes, big and small. One significant upgrade is the new boost indicator featured on cards. This handy animation showcases what upgrades the card will get once boosted. Element size and text placements on cards have been improved. We also added special animations to a number of card effects, for example, when a curse card is exhausted. Cards are now placed lower in hand and are animated in a more satisfying way when your hand is being drawn. There are also new animations for collecting your rewards after a battle.
The Tutorial
We added an intricate step by step animation showcasing how card boosting works next to a few minor changes here and there. There are many moving parts in Deepest Chamber: Resurrection and we believe our new tutorial will help new players better grasp its moves and mechanics.
These are just some of the bigger, more glamorous changes that weve introduced with this patch. For the full Inner Workings of our update, please refer to the full Patch Notes posted below. We would also appreciate it if youd let us know how you feel about all these changes and how they affect your DC:R experience in the comments. A huge THANK YOU goes to our community for helping us shape DC:R into what it is today! See you in the depths!

We're happy to announce another new feature that we think will add even more excitement and variety to your Deepest Chamber descents.
Introducing the Salvaging Feature
Upon completing a run, youll now be able to save a trinket from your collection for future runs. This means that on your next descent, youll get to keep that trinket and employ its abilities to help you on your journey. Please note that starting trinkets cannot be salvaged. We feel that this feature is suited for both new and experienced players, as it helps with tackling the initial difficulty and incentivizes additional runs.
Players will be able to salvage a trinket even if they are defeated. We're also playing with the idea of implementing a scoring system, where players who don't use the advantage of trinket salvaging would receive a hefty bonus. This is just a little taste of what we got in store, with plenty more tricks up our sleeves for the rest of the year, so make sure to stick around.
