Welcome to the first Tomb of the Eaters beta! This is an unpolished and incomplete build of the Tomb of the Eaters feature arc. The beta takes you through the first half of the Tomb of the Eaters dungeon; we'll be making the rest of the dungeon available in the coming weeks. The full feature arc should be ready in early January.
If you're interested, come help us test! Our focus right now is on broad scale testing: big bugs, big balance issues, and big UX challenges. See this thread for details.
To access the beta: right-click on Caves of Qud in Steam, select Properties, click the Betas tab, and switch to the 'beta' branch.
We'll post the comprehensive patch notes with the full feature arc. For now, here's a summary.
- Added the Tomb of the Eaters complex surrounding the Spindle at Omonporch.
- Added the village of Ezra.
- Added a new leg of the main quest: The Tomb of the Eaters.
