The first major update is finally here: Into the Depths 1.1.0.
It's focused on late-game content and adds an "Iron Expedition" relic (accessible after unlocking the "Starting Relic" upgrade) and a new sandbox mode (available after finishing the story).
The next major update will take a bit longer to develop, so I'm aiming to release it in September. In the meantime, there may be small bug-fixing patches.
In any case, I'm looking forward to your feedback in the Steam reviews and in the Discord!
Changelog
"Endless City" - a new sandbox with no objective, where you can test different strategies and try to survive for as long as you can. Available to everyone who finished the main story.
"Iron Expedition" relic. Select it as your starting relic and experience the hardest caves with new unique events and increased exhaustion.
New events:
"Gold Rush". Increases demolition rewards but temporarily decreases Influence income.
