🐸Meet Nera!

It's finally time to formally introduce Nera, the newest Dice Knight entering the dungeon!

Nera is a young Dice Knight with a lot of potential, trained under Cinder for years. She's shy and tries to avoid direct conflict whenever possible, a trait that can make life difficult for a knight...

One day, Cinder's sudden disappearance pushes her to leave her post and search for her master. All clues lead to the dungeon, so that's where she's headed.

🤺Parry to Survive!

Nera's starting relic, Broken Memento, introduces a new modifier that reflects her personality: Parry! This modifier fundamentally changes the way your block behaves, letting you not only absorb damage, but also reflect some of it back!

Nera starts with lower HP than other characters, so focusing on defense is key. If you play carefully, you can deal significant damage while coming out of fights unscathed.

📈 Progression System

We have a brand-new progression system! Now, every run matters, even if it ends in defeat. At the end of every adventure, your frogs will gain experience and unlock new, unique items that are permanently added to the loot pool.

But it's not just dice and relics, you'll also uncover new lore fragments that will help you understand a bit more about the story behind Die in the Dungeon. And if you manage to reach the final level with any character... well, let's just say you will be able to add a touch of gold to your future runs!

📖 Codex and Lore

The world of Die in the Dungeon holds many secrets, and now you'll have a place to study them. We've updated the Codex with lots of new entries for each enemy, including their habitat, suspected place of origin and final notes from the Dungeon Explorers Volunteer Society (D.E.V.S, for short). To unlock these new pages, you'll have to defeat enemies in specific ways during your runs. Who knows, maybe there's more than meets the eye in these fragments of information?

💪 D8 Difficulty

For those who find the usual dungeon crawl too easy, we're finally introducing: D8 difficulty! This is the final difficulty level of the game and presents a steeper challenge than anything that came before: the Decadent Deck. This deck gets its name from the brand-new property found in your starting dice. The Decadent property is a double-edged sword, giving your dice an extra boost in the early battles while slowly degrading their power over time. Only those who can craft the perfect deck on the fly will be able to conquer this challenge!

🔍 A Secret Quest… and a True Ending!

Now, we have something for the most observant players: a new secret quest will be introduced in the game! Of course, we won't spoil anything for now, but completing it will require you to follow certain steps during your run.

If you manage to do it right, you'll be rewarded with a new type of relic and at the end... a new boss even stronger than the Mosquito Duke! Are you ready to uncover the true ending of your journey through the dungeon?
