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. This game is a truly collaborative effort with over 40 updates, and is a representation of how developers and fans can work together to achieve something special.
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 city’s 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 Academy’s 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!

Introducing The Inner Workings Update
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, It’s 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 Wizard’s 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 priest’s Corruptor’s Surge. This card will spread a corruption debuff to all enemies when any card in your hand becomes fully boosted. Combining Corruptor’s Surge with the warrior’s Steed of Honor creates a powerful combo because Steed of Honor also augments the warrior’s 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 we’ve 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 you’d 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!

Many of you have told us that you're looking forward to controller support and we're almost done with that as well, so expect it in one of our upcoming major updates. This will of course be coming over to the Steam Deck version of the game as well!
Our new biome, the Catacombs, is shaping up nicely. Skeletons, spiders, scorpions are roaming all around this place, which will be the most challenging yet in Deepest Chamber: Resurrection!
These are only a few screenshots of the upcoming content, but we hope to show you more and more things soon.

Greetings dwellers! Our journey through the 2023 Roadmap continues, with a couple more pieces to be added to our puzzle.

And to celebrate this new milestone, Deepest Chamber: Resurrection will be 25% OFF until May 25th!
First off:

Introducing: Achievements
The denizens asked, and we delivered: the first batch of 26 new Achievements has been added to Deepest Chamber: Resurrection, and there’s even more where that came from! Happy hunting!

Discover our newest run-enhancing feature in The Tricks of the Trade Update!
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, you’ll now be able to save a trinket from your collection for future runs. This means that on your next descent, you’ll 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.
Full patch notes below
