The Unliving is a dynamic rogue-lite action RPG with strategic elements. Command legions of undead, wield powerful spells and explore a mystical world, all realised with darkly extravagant pixel-art.

After a year of refinement in Early Access, we are thrilled to announce that Update 1.0 heralds the game's full release!


In the 1.0 version of the game, we've focused mainly on making the game as bug-free as possible as well as finishing the story of Necromancer, to give you the best Necromancy experience you can get.

Aim-assist
To make the game more manageable on controllers - we now have two modes of aim-assist and auto-aim, to make your slaying of the living that little bit easier.



New content

• There will be a final boss battle in which you can put all your Necromancy skills to the test
  
• New pair of Ascension Throne upgrades
  
• New sets of Spells

These are going to be final spells, which will provide you with godlike powers in your quest against the living.



The Final Showdown
The Necromancer will finally meet the ultimate foe and will have the opportunity to fix everything and become who he ever wanted to be.

And after the curtain falls - there will be more content, for those most dedicated, for whom one end is not enough and they want to see more of the dark journey that awaits the Necromancer.



Additional tips, narrative, and the cat.
A plethora of narrative objects will be scattered around the world and in the Necromancer citadel. Some will contain flavour text, and some will be useful tips on how the world of The Unliving functions.

And a ghost-cat now lives there... 👀





The Unliving Key Features:

• Turn enemies into unique undead minions: Each fallen foe has an undead counterpart that the Necromancer can summon to his undead army
  
• Sacrifice the undead: The Necromancer can sacrifice members of his undead legions to release powerful spells that can change the course of the battle
  
• Enjoy hand-drawn levels: The world of The Unliving is procedurally generated from a selection of meticulously crafted and highly detailed pixel art chunks
  
• Death is only the beginning: Through each permadeath players will be resurrected, keeping their progression. Gathered necromantic resources can be used to restore the citadel hub world and power up the Necromancer
  
• Overcome blessed bosses: Powerful creatures are the last hope of living to take down the Necromancer, each boasts its own fighting style and abilities
  
• Unlock the secrets of necromancy: Meet members of your own necromantic cult, and interrogate enemies to piece together the truth behind the necromancer’s immortality, and the unnatural abilities he wields

Greetings, Necromancers!

A lot happened since our early access release. During development, we realized that the roadmap we had drawn up at the beginning did not include all the things you requested in feedback, so we adjusted it to allocate more time to the things that worried you the most. ICYMI - we have also just dropped the 'Apex Necromancy' update, check out the patch notes for that here!

As we're fast approaching our 1.0 update, we would love to tell you in detail about everything that has been done in the game since the beginning of early access, and how we envision further development!

We'd like to start with a summary - scroll all the way down to the "Future of Development" section below for a sneak peek at what we have planned for the future.

One of the biggest changes in the game for now - is the higher undead system, which is meant to give players the ability to create the horde they want!

From the very beginning, the behaviour of the undead horde been a focal point of player feedback. To address this, we have made many different additions and fixes to improve the experience of controlling the horde (more on those below), but in the end, we realized that part of the problem is rooted too deeply in the game's foundation, and it is geometrically impossible to make a horde that fills the screen without simultaneously feeling cumbersome and getting in its own way.



We wanted to keep the game pivot - the element of “every killed unit would join the undead horde”, as a dark version of the "leave no one behind" principle. And so, we developed the"High Undead" system.

Now, the Necromancer has a limit on the number of simultaneous units, but each unit can consist of several undead. If the Necromancer resurrects new undead and exceeds his current limit, then he will merge several corpses (choosing the most decayed and damaged ones) and receive the High Undead - who posses increased parameters and updated hit points!



If you manage to gather an incredible amount of corpses, further merging into higher ranks of undead may be possible! With each rank, health and damage will increase significantly, reflecting how many corpses are now combined into one, and the higher-ranked undead will also decay slower.

The limit itself, as well as the strength of the high undead, can be changed in different ways: during the necromancy power upgrade, in the binding crucible, and in the throne of ascension.

Moreover, in the throne of ascension, a pair of forces responsible for the limit will appear. Those who prefer to play with a larger army will be able to increase this limit, while those who prefer a compact elite squad will be able to decrease this limit, obtaining an empowerment of the highest undead (as well as making it easier to promote ranks due to the small number of units).

Many things have also been done to respond to your request for the Necromancer's tools to become more customizable.

With new systems, you can make a composition that matches the style you want to play the game!

If you love spell casting you can make spells world shatteringly powerful, at the cost of everything else.
If you don't - all this power could be channelled into the undead, to make them mighty hulks. You could even can hog all power for the Necromancer himself - who decided that casters are fragile and need an army?



Most of the living enemies have been rebalanced to match to new dynamic of Necromancers power. Now that difference in power level will be more pronounced between locations - the cemetery will be easier to beat, especially with crucible powers, and city will be more resistant to crucible powers for longer!

Customization Options: Binding Crucible

The Binding Crucible adds progression and customization to the meta-game. You will encounter it immediately upon returning to the Citadel, and once repaired with Majra and Nazrail, you can use it right away!



The Crucible maintains its flame with coals of life from the Necromancer himself, formed every time a lifespark breaks.

For each level of the Crucible, you can choose one of four alternative upgrades. More often than not, upgrades are responsible for choosing between enhancing the combat capability of the Necromancer himself, enhancing the army of undead, enhancing spells, or enhancing sacrificial abilities - but there are exceptions.



In-run progress: Necromantic Power

The Binding Crucible added necessary progression to the game, but to prevent it from becoming a stagnant choice of the same strategy, we added a system focused on increasing Necromancy Power.



Now, by resurrecting enemies, the Necromancer will receive upgrades that can adjust the direction of development during the run, depending on the vagaries of fate and your mood.

The need to spend Prima simultaneously in three different places - with Majra, Nazrail, and on the Ascension Throne - caused inconvenience, so we reworked the system. Now, apprentices will not have to wait for the Master to bring them resources, but will independently conduct research when certain achievements are reached!



Access to enchantments and new weapons from Nazra'il and Life Sparks from Majra will now be entirely tied to achievements rather than purchased, and Prima will only be spent on restoring the Ascension Throne.

Use Life Sparks and spend life force to provide Majra with the necessary data for research. Kill enemies with different weapons and raise them as undead to inspire Nazra'il to forge new enchantments!

Some feedback suggested that restoring the grimoire often doesn't feel like progress because with a large pool of spells and runes, it becomes harder to find the desired spells. To address this, we added a system of rerolls to the game, tied to grimoire restoration!

Now, when a necromancer unlocks a new circle of ten spells they will activate its core, which provides various bonuses, including additional reroll charges!



With this charge, essence results can now be re-rolled! Additional charges can be earned inside the run by discarding essences.



In order for you to better navigate and make decisions on whether to deviate from the path in pursuit of the Zolarian's gold reserves, we have added a Divination system.

This is a radar that, when activated by a button press, will display points of interest around the necromancer and their direction, as well as a pointer to the main path to the location boss.



Initially when developing the Necromancer's throne interface, we were focused on achieving a diegetic look, but from your feedback, players found the interface to be unclear... so we updated it!

We made the Necromancer's throne more informative and obvious in conveying what needs to be done to unlock new powers within it. We also made the effects of the powers more obvious and displayed that only one of the two paired powers can be active at a time.



To ensure that after all the changes and various enhancement systems the player still has a challenge in the later stages of the game, we developed the 'Vow of Deicide'.

The Vow of Deicide is a counter-part system, meant to oppose the Binding Crucible. It will allow you to raise the level of difficulty after the Necromancer reaches end-game stages - and you can get rewards for it!

The Vow of Deicide is activated after you have defeated the final boss for the first time, and it allows you to start a new run with increased difficulty. All enemies, including bosses, will become stronger, but the amount of resources will increase as well. Additionally, rewards for first-time boss kills will be given for each level of difficulty.

After the final boss is defeated on the new level of difficulty, the next level will be unlocked.



We worked hard on different aspects of how the army of undead work, and have made quite a lot of technical progress in response to all issues you, the community, are reporting.

There was logic, and technical updates for pathfinding and aggression, the most noticeable change was the addition of a dash or jump to meelee units. Of course regular skeletons will never be on par with mighty werewolves, but now they have a line rush move to get them to the front line, rather than stuck behind archers!



We have also made quite a few internal changes of how all things work, small QOL changes, and some explanation attached to things that were unclear before! Based on your feedback, we added a tracker to display how close the Necromancer is to finding the next shard of his soul.

Numerous abilities and runes texts were re-written to make their function clearer, and loading-screen tips were also added!



We are almost at the end of early access development, and the next big update will be version 1.0!

All major systems and radical changes that we deemed necessary and that you asked for in the feedback are now online. We will most likely still make some changes for the release version, based on your further feedback, but the next update will have a focus on narrative. Most excitingly, the biggest part of this update will be the final boss and Zolar's elite guard.



Of course, you can expect the conclusion of the Necromancer's story and that of his apprentices, as well as many small plot additions. During the time that the apprentices spent in the necromancer's citadel, they managed to collect all sorts of things, (both necessary and otherwise). Some say that a ghostly meowing can be heard, echoing through the citadel at times... 🐱

There will also be small objects in the locations that will further reveal the story of the events and the world. For those that love lore, this is going to be huge!

We are close to the finish, but there is still time for some changes, so we would be extremely grateful if you could fill out the survey to make sure that the final version will be the necromancy game you are waiting for.

Hello Necromancers!

A major update is here - ready yourselves for the Rage of the Undead!



This is a HUGE update, bringing with it a lot of features that change gameplay, add variety, permanent progression and more features that you, the players have requested!

This is a station in Necromancer Citadel that contains a new progression system. There, you can upgrade your undead army and Necromancer in any way you would like!

If you love spell casting, you can make spells world-shatteringly powerful, at the cost of everything else... or, how about channelling all that power into the undead, to make them mighty hulks? Of course, you can even hog all power for the Necromancer himself - who decided that casters are fragile and even need an army?

Living enemies have been rebalanced to match the new dynamic of Necromancers power. Now the difference in power level will be more pronounced between locations - cemeteries will be easier to beat, especially with crucible powers. The city will also resist crucible powers for much longer.

This is a counter-part system, meant to oppose Binding Crucible. It will allow you to raise the level of difficulty after the Necromancer reaches end-game stages, and you can even get rewards for it!

For now this will plainly increase enemy power-level. Regarding rewards, there is a one-time recourse pack for first completion on every difficulty, and an everlasting multiplicator for all meta-currencies.

Now you will have access to more instruments, to form the exact spell you need!

Essence result can now be re-rolled, spending one re-roll charge! Additional charges can be earned by unlocking more spells in Citadel, or inside the run by discarding essences.

We worked hard on various aspects of how the army of undead work and have made quite a lot of technical progress in response to all issues you, the community, are reporting.

More noticeably, now every melee unit has some sort of dash or a jump. Of course, regular skeletons will never be on par with mighty werewolves, but now they have a line rush move, to get them to the front line rather than stuck behind archers!

In this update, there have been many internal changes of how all things work, small QOL changes, and some explanation attached to things that were unclear before! We have also added a tracker to display how close the Necromancer is to finding the next shard of his soul. Most of these updates were already tested in the beta-branch, by our most hardcore fans (whose help is extremely valuable to us). But now it is going live, and we will be grateful if you could tell us how you like the direction the game is developing!

You can do this by posting here on Steam in our General Discussions, Discord, or by filling in a survey available on the game main screen. Thank you for your ongoing support, as we continue to work on The Unliving!
