Update #2 will be OUT of beta on December 29th!
(Instructions on how to access the Beta Branch are at the bottom of this post)
This Beta includes ALL features and additions that will be rolled out in 1 weeks time. This public Beta allows us to test the update in a more controlled environment while we squash bugs, and test and polish everything we can.
The BIGGEST change in 1.3.0 is addition of a new character: BOSS
A highly-combustible criminal who uses sticky bombs as her main method of attack! Starts a run with the “Second Chance” item, another random bomb-related item, and explodes upon taking a hit. Also comes with her own B-costume!
Boss must be unlocked first. But we are certain that even you 100%ers will have fun working towards that, as it encourages you to test and explore the other new content in the game!
We will explain the new features in greater detail when leaving Beta in 1 week.
But for now we can share update #2 also offers:
- 5 new "subfloors"
- 3 new level variants (Flooded, Burning, and Dark)
- 16 new items
- 6 new weapons
- 4 new enemies
Test it out for yourself, see if you can win a run with Boss, and seek out the other new additions that lay in wait for you to discover. If you find any bugs, please do report them in the Steam discussions.
Please consider joining the Milkbar Lads Discord to convene with other members of the fandom. Maybe you'll get some sneak peaks at what the devs have cooking! Or join the official Dead Estate subreddit to share screenshots, video clips, memes or anything else you care to share with other fans of the game.
ACCESSING THE BETA
Accessing the public beta branch is simple as can be and only takes a few steps:
- Find the game in your Steam library, right-click it, and select "Properties..."
- From the menu on the left of the new window, select "BETAS."

The update will be officially released on DECEMBER 29TH! We will explain every new addition in much greater detail, including our first teases of Update #3!
