Axes high!

I'm positively surprised you guys are finding Underneath Demo in the vastness of Steam games, especially while I haven't done any marketing at all yet!

You are the true unpolished gem finders, well fit for a dwarven explorer!

As I'm developing Underneath solo after-hours for a few years now, I figured I will release the demo during the Medieval Steam Fest and see what happens. It's still unfinished, but playable. Keep in mind that due to the early stages of development, your save games will stop being compatibile with major updates to the game files.

But I've created Underneath: Dwarven Artifacts to be a replayable experience, so I hope you will find fun with starting again, as much as I enjoy it still after years of testing!

I'm planning on finishing the demo until October 2026 Steam Next Fest (Octoberfest? :) )

I will keep updating it, focusing mainly on combat, story and fortress location.
