The Unliving l Important Early Access Launch Info
Hey there, Necromancers!
Thank you so much for your support, as we start our Early Access Journey.
As with many games during Early Access - you may run into a few pesky bugs. We'd like to share a list of known issues and workarounds below to help you out with this! The team are currently already looking into fixes for some of these issues, and we'll update you as soon as we can!
The game becomes unresponsive when the left mouse button is pressed in loading screens on lower spec PC machines. A workaround for this at the moment is to avoid clicking during loading screens.
The Language select bar cannot be scrolled through. A workaround for this is to use the arrow keys instead.
Mapping option is displayed as a placeholder. The placeholder means to open the map.
An ability is clipping through the environment in Homespace. The team are working on this, and this will be removed in a future update.
The player is able to softlock the game by resurrecting the undead and interacting with an essence in quick succession. To avoid this, please don’t do these interactions too quickly.
The camera does not follow the player in one of the Citadel chunks. This will be updated soon.
Upgrades from the Ascension Throne are inaccessible to the player. This is soon to be updated, but you will be able to access basic upgrades.
There are missing chunks throughout the Citadel level - thiis will be updated soon.
The Commander unit is not visible when dead - however, the Commander can still be resurrected and works as normal, this is just a visual issue.
Thank you for your patience, as we continue to work on The Unliving! We'll share further updates as soon as we can.
The time has come. The Unliving is out now in Steam Early Access! 💥
Get ready to raise the dead as a fearsome Necromancer in the dark, fantastical world of The Unliving! 🧟
Lead your undead armies into the endless fight, in this dynamic dark fantasy rogue-lite RPG!
Strategize, burn cities to ash with devastating magic, slay Herculean bosses and turn all that dare to stand in your way into morbid servants… all while discovering the grim truth behind the supreme hierarchies of the Church, and yourself.
TURN ENEMIES INTO YOUR OWN 🧟
Those on the front lines will not fall easily. Unleash hell as the Undead Lord, and bring them to their knees.
Each fallen foe can be resurrected, and added to your army to create unlimited, powerful legions of the dead! Each re-animated creature has their own unique abilities, such as the undead Priest whose blessings in life, will now curse your enemies in death ⛪
CRUSH ALL IN YOUR PATH💥
Strike fear into your enemies hearts, and watch them writhe in pain.
Only some of the living are helpless victims, the rest, in a futile attempt, try to retaliate against your forces. They hold the line, move in large groups and wield powerful abilities too.
Clerics and lords hope to hide behind high walls, but there’s no stronghold to cover them from your wrath. Smite all that stand in your way and turn them into your tools on the way to a greater purpose.
SLAY EPIC BOSSES⚔️
As the last hope of the living, powerful creatures of this shadowy world will do all they can to stop you.
Each boss boasts its own unique fighting style and abilities, meaning deftness in combat and strategic thinking will be crucial in emerging victorious from these gruelling encounters. Defeat them, and show that no one can stand in your way.
CONQUER UNCHARTED LANDS, AND UNRAVEL THE MYSTERIES OF NECROMANCY🔮
The world is randomly generated for each run, and richly populated with all kinds of creatures, artefacts, secret rooms and even deadly traps, all in a meticulously crafted, and highly detailed pixel art world!
You will need to work with the members of your very own necromantic cult, in order to rebuild your broken citadel. Collect cryptic notes, force answers out of your enemies and study the writings of the ancient artefacts to gather the lost memories of the Necromancer piece by piece as you reveal the nature of his immortality.
DIE AND RISE AGAIN 💀
The ability to deny death itself is the greatest secret of the Necromancer. Another mortal strike is merely a setback for him. Gather necromantic resources, restore your citadel and don’t let your enemies catch you the same way twice.

We have made the difficult decision to delay the launch of The Unliving by a week, to the 7th of November.
We sincerely apologize for the delay, as we know that it will disturb some of your plans. We would have loved to release on October 31st, with it being such a symbolic date of all Hallows Eve and Samhain.
We planned on adding a new feature, and despite working hard and being very close to making it on time - we missed this goal. To ensure you have the best possible experience at launch, we need a few extra days to work on this!
As always, we appreciate your support and understanding as we navigate towards our Early Access launch!
