Greetings, Gravebound!

Big News!

We’ve reviewed all the requests to join the playtest, and ahead of the Demo going live on Monday 9th, we’ve decided to open the Crypt’s doors early!

We’ll be granting access to as many of the 5,000 playtest requests as we can today, Friday 6th, giving more players the chance to jump in. This will help us identify and fix final bugs, gather more feedback, and prepare a stronger update for the Demo next week.

About the Playtest & Demo

Our playtest which has been running since mid 2025, featured a lot of experimental ideas, mechanics, and even an early peek at a second dungeon and new hideout areas like the Night Gardens.

For the Playtest and upcoming Demo, we’ve refined the experience:

  • Stripped back anything that felt overwhelming

  • Focused tightly on what supports the core gameplay

  • Added a few new elements crafted specifically for this demo build

You’ll still be able to get a glimpse of the Night Gardens, but your horticulture skills won’t be needed just yet.

If you’d like to see a full playthrough of the current playtest/demo, we’ve uploaded a complete run on our YouTube page here:

Cycle & Dungeon Details

In Begraved, the full game features a 5‑day cycle before the dreaded Tax‑Man comes calling. For the Demo, we’re tightening things to a 3‑day cycle, giving you a faster taste of the core loop and the pressure you’ll face in the full release.

Your adventure begins in the first dungeon:

The Cave Crypts of Mount Galarand

These ancient burial grounds once held the wealthiest citizens, who weren’t shy about protecting their riches. Expect:

  • Traps meant to keep looters like you out

  • Monsters lurking in the dark

  • Ghosts, curses, and other supernatural hazards

  • Jewels, relics, and chests of gold to uncover

Your two most essential tools are your torch and pickaxe. Never leave home without them.

Streamer Showcase

Starting today, you may begin seeing creators on YouTube and Twitch exploring Begraved! They’ll be venturing through Goria, diving into the Cave Crypts, and sharing their first impressions throughout the Demo period and Next Fest.

We’re also excited to be joining Raasclark, a great friend of ours, for the first-ever co‑stream showing off Begraved together.

We are incredibly excited to see the Begraved demo open to the general public, We’ll also be hosting a Multiplayer Broadcast live on our Steam page on Monday as well, so stay tuned for more details! Laters Groobers! Jade – CM
