DepthLoot is a compact dungeon extraction about greed, risk, and a backpack that’s always too small. Descend into the ruins, light up the darkness, loot treasures, battle enemies, and make it out alive - or everything you’ve found will be left behind in the depths.

About this game
A BACKPACK IS SMALLER THAN YOUR GREED
Before you head down, decide what to bring: weapons, a pickaxe, food, and potions - or leave some space for loot. Items take up slots of different shapes, so good loot forces you to rearrange your entire backpack. Sometimes the best trophy is the one that requires you to leave something useful behind.
THE DEEPER YOU GO, THE BETTER THE LOOT
Explore the dungeon tile by tile and choose your own path. The deeper you go, the more valuable the finds - and the higher the cost of a mistake. When your backpack is almost full, the next door becomes the key question of the expedition: Is this enough, or should you explore one more room?
GET OUT ALIVE
Finding treasure is only half the battle. To claim your loot, you must reach the portal and return to base. If you die in the dungeon, you’ll lose almost everything you didn’t leave in a safe place. Every successful run ends with a choice: take another risk or keep what you’ve found.
TURN LOOT INTO POWER
A successful evacuation isn’t the end - it’s preparation for the next one. Sell what you’ve found, repair worn-out gear, and keep making improvements: more space, more room for error, more training options. The risk of today’s mission becomes a resource for the next one.
Key Features
Turn-based expeditions into procedurally generated dungeons.
Extraction loop: Loot is only valuable if you make it out alive.
Grid-based inventory management with items of various shapes, equipment, a backpack, and a storage area.
Weapons, armor, rings, food, potions, keys, pickaxes, valuable resources, and much more.
Item durability, repairs at the merchant, and efficient use of every inventory slot.
Progression between runs: health, stamina, trading, backpack size, storage, new abilities, and much more.
DepthLoot is about that moment when your backpack is already full, you've found the exit, but there’s surely something behind the next door that’s too valuable to just walk away from.

What’s Changing for the Next Playtest
Hi everyone! Since the last playtest, we’ve continued working on DepthLoot and wanted to briefly share what will change for the next test and the upcoming demo. New ProgressionProgression will become less linear, with upgrade choices that will let you develop your character in different ways and shape your playstyle. Two Playable CharactersYou’ll be able to play as two characters with their own unique traits, offering slightly different approaches to exploring the dungeon. New Biome and Room GenerationPart of a new biome will be introduced, and dungeon generation will become more varied — rooms will no longer be limited to simple rectangular shapes. Equipment BonusesWe’re adding a new equipment bonus system to make items more meaningful for your build and create more interesting combinations. Merchant ImprovementsWe’re reworking the merchant’s offers to make the available choices more useful and provide more interesting options for progression. Quality-of-Life ImprovementsWe’re also adding key rebinding, localization for multiple languages, and a number of other smaller improvements. And, of course, Bug FixesThe previous playtest gave us a lot of useful feedback and data, so we’re also fixing reported issues and continuing to polish the game. This isn’t the full list of changes — for now, we just wanted to give you a quick look at how DepthLoot has progressed since the last playtest. We’ll talk about some of these systems in more detail later. We’re currently planning the next playtest for the second half of September, but we’ll announce the exact dates a little later. See you in the depths!Read full article on Community Announcements (ValiantLight)AnnouncementsOfficial
DepthLoot Playtest Closed. Thanks!
Well, a huge thank you to everyone for participating!It was fun and extremely interesting to read the feedback, watch the playthroughs, and dive into discussions about the game! We gathered a lot of information from the survey and your feedback on Discord, and we managed to fix and improve a lot (though by no means everything) I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m happy with this playtest :D I hope you are, too! 158 people played in the playtest, with a median playtime of 40 minutes and a maximum playtime of 6 hours and 22 minutes (which is just wow, because as I understand it, that’s active playtime) After a short break, we’re continuing our work on adding the planned content and improving the current game mechanics, so I hope you’ll enjoy it next time!Read full article on Community Announcements (ValiantLight)AnnouncementsOfficial
