What's in your build
The maps and main characters planned for Early Access are substantially developed and being polished. The October 26 creator preview build includes Worlds 1 through 4 and two playable characters.

The public demo is a separate build covering Chapters 1 to 3. The creator preview is not the full planned Early Access game.
Preview build and planned launch
| Content | Current creator preview | Planned November 9 Early Access |
|---|---|---|
| Worlds | 1 through 4 (4 total) | 1 through 7 (7 total) |
| Content per world | 4 tiers + 1 Hard Mode | 4 tiers + 1 Hard Mode |
| Total map layouts | 20 | 35 |
| Playable characters | 2 | 3 |
| Final bosses | 4 | 7 |
| Mid-bosses | 4 | 7 |
| Minibosses | 16 | 24 |
| Dominions | 15 | 20 |

Gameplay quick start
- Prepare your skills in the Armory before each run.
- Fight and explore the map while developing passive bonuses and skills.
- Summon minibosses through map objects to earn Relics and upgrades. Relics are automatic attacks that use moving weapon models.
- Defeat mid-bosses to earn Perks.
- During Omens, more and stronger enemies appear. Collect tokens from enemies and spend them at the Token Exchange.
- Choose 1 of 3 upgrades drawn from Basic Attacks, Strikes, Relics and Dominions. Rerolls cost Mini-Boss Souls.
These opportunities are not a fixed sequence. The final boss follows roughly 15 minutes of map combat, so a full run is longer than 15 minutes.
Hard Mode: a pool of 9 curses, curse progression up to 3 stages, and up to 3 active curses.
Skill systems
There are six Specializations:
- Wrath
- Malice
- Frenzy
- Obsession
- Erosion
- Ruin
Each Basic Attack, Strike and Dominion belongs to one Specialization. Reaching point thresholds strengthens attacks in that Specialization. Each character has 6 unique Basic Attacks and 6 unique Strikes, one of each per Specialization, for 12 total per character.
Skills prepared in the Armory underpin your choices and upgrades during a run. Each skill has 3 upgrade paths that can develop together. Skill upgrades and Specialization point bonuses are separate systems.
Permanent progression
- Claim the bodies of defeated bosses to unlock characters.
- Collect souls to unlock skills for future runs.
- Prepare Basic Attacks, Strikes and Dominions in the Armory.
- Grow player and character skill trees. Character trees include Specialization progression.
- Soul Engraving provides permanent stat growth using Engraving Stones exchanged from Angel souls.
- Soul Stele offers achievement style objectives and rewards.
- The Forge supports progression between runs.
