Dwellers, the moment you've all been waiting for is drawing near! Deepest Chamber: Resurrection is set to launch version 1.0 today on October 24th. We stand in awe of the incredible support you've shown us during the Early Access phase, which kicked off in June 2021. Your dedication has been the beacon that guided us over the past two years.

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!
  
• Steam Deck Compatibility: We've tested Deepest Chamber: Resurrection extensively, and we're happy to share it runs PERFECTLY on Steam Deck, now with support for Deck controls! See for yourself! We'll be getting the verified checkmark as soon as we can!
