v0.7.0 · 30 September 2026

Daily Descent and Weekly Rite

The same seed, map and Ember Mutators for everyone: one scored Daily Descent a day, unlimited Weekly Rite attempts, public boards, rite chests and titles.

Once a day and once a week, everyone gets the same dungeon: the same seed, the same map, the same Ember Mutators. Ten floors, today's seed, one scored attempt. How deep, how fast? A five-floor gauntlet under three Ember Mutators. Unlimited tries; your best counts.

Both rites are played on Hard, solo, on the same seed for everyone

Ember Mutators

Each rite rolls its mutators from the period's seed: never more than one severe one.
