What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to listen to players, fine-tune the final details, and incorporate their suggestions as we complete the remaining content of DEEPLANDERS.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately two months. Our goal is to release version 1.0 in mid-January 2027.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will include five Deeps instead of three, introducing new characters and unique mechanics, as well as completing the story. We'll also add a Sandbox Mode, currently in development, which we plan to release as an update in mid-December. Throughout this process, we'll implement improvements based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“DEEPLANDERS already offers a fully playable experience with its core mechanics and three Deeps, each consisting of five Layers. The remaining two Deeps are nearly complete and will be added in time for the 1.0 release.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We don't plan to change the base price during Early Access or when the full version launches.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'll listen to player suggestions and feedback through Steam Discussions and our Discord server, using their input to improve and polish the game.”

About This Game

DEEPLANDERS is a minimalist construction puzzle game about populating the depths.
A relaxed experience where you build cozy underground cities while finding the perfect place for each Deeplander to live in harmony.

Banished to live underground, these charming characters wander lost in the darkness. As you build, they begin to arrive, searching for a place to settle. Not everyone wants the same thing, and helping each Deeplander find their place becomes a gentle yet engaging logic challenge.

When a city is complete, the choice is yours. You can watch the Deeplanders live their lives while decorating the environment, or venture even deeper. Each descent writes a new chapter in their story, bringing new characters, environments, and ways to build.

Each depth can be solved in multiple ways, inviting you to replay and create different cities.

A mode that turns the Deeplanders into your desktop companions! Their underground world stays alive while you work, and you can interact with it by exploring the depths.

Please keep in mind that DEEPLANDERS is a small-scale game, made with great care and love. An experience that invites you to build, experiment, and shape small underground cities... because even the depths can be a beautiful place.

In DEEPLANDERS you can:

  • Build and decorate underground cities at your own pace.

  • Solve small organization puzzles.

  • Enjoy a relaxed and contemplative experience.

  • Replay a depth while looking for different solutions.

DEEPLANDERS does not include:

  • Mining or complex resource management.

  • Battles, fail states, or leaderboards.
