'ItвЂ™s a world brimming with mystery, brought to life by sparkling prose, and rooted in a diverse RPG where you can shoot lasers with your mind.' - Steven Messner, PC Gamer Top 100, #40.'Caves of Qud has a particular kind of New Wave science fiction imagination that just canвЂ™t be beat.' - Cameron Kunzelman, Paste Magazine.'Narratively, this is one of the most compelling game stories that IвЂ™ve seen in a long time.' - Charlie Hall, Polygon.'Caves of Qud is one of the best roguelikes in years, packed with evocative prose and featuring a captivating world of arcane secrets to explore.' - Heather Alexandra, Kotaku.'ThereвЂ™s a sense of magnificent history to dredge from its depths.' - Chris Priestman, Kill Screen.

DonвЂ™t worry, though - you can always roll a new character.

Die - Caves of Qud is brutally difficult and deaths are permanent.

A novelвЂ™s worth of handwritten lore is knit into a procedurally-generated history thatвЂ™s unique each game.

Learn the lore - thereвЂ™s a story in every nook, from legendary items with fabled pasts to in-game history books written by plant historians.

Follow the plot to Barathrum the Old, a sentient cave bear who leads a sect of tinkers intent on restoring technological splendor to Qud.

Pursue allegiances with over 60 factions - apes, crabs, robots, and highly entropic beings, just to name a few.

So if you have a mutation that lets you, say, psionically dominate a spider, you can traipse through the world as a spider, laying webs and eating things. That means they have levels, skills, equipment, faction allegiances, and body parts.

Hack the limbs off monsters - every monster and NPC is as fully simulated as the player.

Dig through everything - donвЂ™t like the wall blocking your way? Dig through it with a pickaxe, or eat through it with your corrosive gas mutation, or melt it to lava.

Explore procedurally-generated regions with some familiar locations - each world is nearly 1 million maps large.

Assemble your character from over 70 mutations and defects, and 24 castes and kits - outfit yourself with wings, two heads, quills, four arms, flaming hands, or the power to clone yourself itвЂ™s all the character diversity you could want.

The result is a hybrid handcrafted and procedurally-generated world that's alive in a way few game worlds are. The game has grown into a wild garden of emergent narrative, where a handwritten story weaves a path through rich physical, social, and historical simulations. Since then, it's accrued a few more contributors who have enriched the project by helping to add visual effects, sound effects, an original soundtrack, a new UI, new game systems, new lore, and half a world of content. In 2015, the game was launched on Steam in Early Access. It began as the science fantasy roguelike dream of co-creators Jason Grinblat and Brian Bucklew, who released the first beta in 2010. Decide: is it a dying earth, or is it on the verge of rebirth?Д¬aves of Qud is a project of epic proportions that's been in development for over a decade (since 2007). Play the role of a mutant from the salt-spangled jungles of Qud, or play as a true-kin descendant from one of the few remaining eco-domes: the toxic arboreta of Ekuemekiyye, the ice-sheathed arcology of Ibul, or the crustal mortars of Yawningmoon. Come inhabit an exotic world and chisel through a layer cake of thousand-year-old civilizations. Caves of Qud is a science fantasy RPG and roguelike epic steeped in retrofuturism, deep simulation, and swathes of sentient plants.
