Why it's worth $7.99

The Fight Finds You Where You Stand

You walk The Below in real time, free movement, no grid. Then something finds you, and the world snaps into a pure turn-based battle on the spot.

DelveWright gameplay: exploring a dark corridor of The Below in first person, a creature waiting ahead
One step: exploring
DelveWright gameplay: the same kind of corridor, now with the battle menu snapped open on a Gorge Worm, Attack, Magic, Item and Defend on the left
Next step: the snap

No fade, no separate arena, no load screen. Attack, Magic, Item, Defend, the menu you already know how to read. When it's over you are walking again in the same breath, deciding whether to bank your haul or carry it one floor deeper.

Why now

Why Buy Here

DelveWright is not on Steam yet. It is here, and buying it here gets you both copies.

Play today

The whole game is here now, all sixty floors of it, for Windows and Linux. Nothing is held back for the Steam release.

Yours to keep

The download has no DRM and needs no launcher or account to run. Keep the archive wherever you keep things.

The Steam copy is included

Buying here does not mean buying twice. Every purchase comes with a Steam key, and your saves carry over on the same machine.

A real person on the other end

CindieForge is one engineer. If anything is off, you are emailing the person who made the game, not a ticket queue.

How it works

From Checkout to The Below

  1. Step 1

    Pay through itch.io

    It's $7.99. The checkout is itch.io's, and you don't need an account with us or with them.

  2. Step 2

    Download and play

    Your download page opens as soon as you pay, and itch.io emails you a link back to it. Each build is about 420 MB: unzip it and run the game. There is no launcher and no DRM.

  3. Step 3

    Claim your Steam key

    Your Steam key is on that same download page. Redeem it now and DelveWright sits in your Steam library, ready for the day it launches there.

FAQ

Questions

What do I get?

The full game as a download for Windows and Linux, about 420 MB each, with no DRM. You also get a Steam key, at no extra cost.

When do I get my Steam key?

Straight away. It is on your itch.io download page, the same one you get the game from, so keep the email itch.io sends you after you pay. You can redeem it now, and DelveWright sits in your Steam library until it launches there.

See DelveWright on Steam
Is it the same game that is coming to Steam?

Yes, the same build. The one difference is that this copy does not talk to Steam, so achievements are kept in your save file. When you later run the Steam copy on that save, it hands them to Steam.

Will my saves carry over to Steam?

On the same machine, yes. Both copies keep their saves in the same folder, outside the game folder, so deleting or replacing the game does not touch them.

Windows warned me about the game. Is that normal?

Yes. The Windows build is not code-signed, so the first run shows "Windows protected your PC". Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

How do updates work?

A new build is a new download from the same itch.io page. Unzip it over the old folder or into a fresh one. Your saves are not in either.

Something went wrong. Who do I ask?

Email selodev3d@gmail.com with the address you bought with, and say what happened. You are writing to the person who made the game, and we will sort it out.
