About the Game
What Kind of Game Is This?
A band of eccentric adventurers, driven out of the royal capital, kept exploring dungeons in the desolate Land of Impermanence. Then, by sheer chance, they stumbled toward the secrets hidden by the Church—and the secrets of the world itself.
Take control of four characters with very different traits: the Hunter, Fighter, Blacksmith, and Mage. Open treasure chests, defeat enemies, mine ore, gather materials, and combine equipment and skills to conquer the dungeons.
Features
Simple Mouse-Only Controls
The controls are easy enough to use while munching on chips. Automatic and manual control flow seamlessly into one another, making the game perfect for playing while doing something else. Games that feel this good to control are hard to come by. And make no mistake—the action and game mechanics are the real deal!
Unmatched Builds and Progression
As you advance through dungeon floors, you gain random skills. Every dive offers a different combination to play with. And skills do not always have purely positive effects. They are quirks, after all. Use them well, though, and they can become formidable assets. But yeah... they are random.
But! You can bring equipment with you! And in this game, equipment comes with skills of its own. Combine the skills fixed to your chosen equipment with the random skills you find inside the dungeon to create a build that is entirely your own.
The skills in this game get wild!
Manage Your Resources Wisely
Combine lots of equipment packed with skills and... wait, what? That Stamina cost is getting out of hand. That is right. Dungeon crawling works up an appetite. The right combination can unleash flashy combos or blazing-fast movement—but it will make you hungry. Being alive makes you hungry.
So make sure you come prepared.
Characters

Choose the Right Character
There are four characters. Choose your favorite? Sure, that works. But in this game, they differ in more than just playstyle. Let us introduce the four distinctive adventurers who were driven from the royal capital and washed up in this strange land.
Hunter
A master lockpicker and former member of the Thieves' Guild. He must have seen something he was not supposed to. Apparently, the guild threw him out. He can open every kind of treasure chest. Combat is not his strong suit, but he is quick on his feet—and very good at making money.
Trait: Frugal → He cannot help opening treasure chests. He cannot move on to the next floor until every chest on the current floor has been opened.
Fighter
The daughter of a noble house and a former knight. To her, garbage nobles and goblins are basically the same thing. She abandoned her family. An all-brawn combat specialist. Once she spots an enemy, restraint goes out the window. She burns through resources, too. At least you will never be short on monster materials.
Trait: Aggressive → She cannot leave an enemy undefeated. She cannot move on to the next floor until every enemy on the current floor has been defeated.
Blacksmith
A former master craftsperson at a famous forge in the royal capital. If the result is good, cost does not matter. Quality is everything. Apparently, that got him fired. Mining lets him break through certain dungeon walls. He wants the ore, after all. Dig cleverly, and you might even avoid some enemies.
Trait: Perfectionist → He cannot leave any ore or arms behind. He cannot move on to the next floor until every ore deposit and piece of equipment on the current floor has been found.
Mage
A genius alchemist who became the youngest person ever to graduate from the academy of magic and later served as a court mage. She researched the power of the orbs—and seems to have learned something better left unknown. She is physically frail, but her long-range magic is powerful. Defeat enemies with magic to obtain Skill Orbs. There is plenty to research.
Trait: Collecting Habit → She gathers every natural resource, including alchemical materials. She cannot advance until everything has been collected.
Choose What Catches Your Eye
Which character you challenge the dungeon with, what equipment you bring, and which skills you combine can completely change your approach. Once you factor in each character's traits and your limited Stamina, you may find yourself deliberating far more than expected.
Choose what catches your eye. Beyond that choice, an adventure you can experience only in this game awaits.
Demo Limitations
Once the total playtime for a save slot reaches 5 hours, you will no longer be able to enter dungeons using that save slot.
In addition, some dungeons cannot be explored in the demo.
Your progress from the demo can be carried over to the full game, allowing you to continue where you left off.

Official update history
Bug Fix
- Fixed an issue that prevented the Windows version from launching when the installation path contained characters such as Japanese or Chinese.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for reporting the issue and helping us investigate.
Thank you for your continued support of Life Is a Dungeon: Lean into It.
Russian is now available for in-game text and dialogue subtitles.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the “CURSOR SNAP” mouse setting was not shown when using Classic controls.
- Fixed an issue in the introductory area “Inside the Cave” where the Hunter would turn back after the dialogue if you entered the slime room without examining the bones.
Thank you for your continued support of Life Is a Dungeon: Lean into It.
Based on your requests in Steam reviews and discussions, this update makes it easier to try new combinations with equipment you have already invested in. We have also adjusted fatigue after successful dungeon runs so you can keep exploring with the same character.
Equipment Progression
- Added Disenchant to the Dismantle screen at the Tatara Forge. You can remove all regular additional effects from equipment in storage for free. The equipment itself, its upgrade level, and its innate effects are preserved, so you can use different orbs to rebuild your favorite gear.
- Added Purify to Elemental Binding at the Hermit Hut. Use 1 Clear Slime Gel or 5G to remove all Elemental Bindings from the selected accessory.
- When selecting a material for Elemental Binding, you can now see how many Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth points the next unit will add. We have adjusted red materials to favor Fire, blue materials to favor Water, and green materials to favor Wind. You can also reselect an accessory placed in the cauldron as long as you have not added any materials yet.
- Removed the lock confirmation when performing regular upgrades, using orbs, or placing equipment in the Elemental Binding cauldron, even if it is locked or registered in an equipment set.
Dungeon Exploration
- Returning after clearing a dungeon no longer adds fatigue. Abandoning an expedition or being defeated in Casual mode still causes fatigue.
- Added food to the rewards for defeating regular bosses and their Deepening variants. You are guaranteed 1 Hardtack, with a chance to receive an additional Hardtack or Dried Meat.
- Redrew the outlines of Wall Root Tangles to make them easier to spot against rocky walls.
Other Improvements and Bug Fixes
- You can now open the Steam build sharing forum directly from the Build sharing screen at the Training Statue.
- Fixed Healing so its recovery amount reflects Magic gained from equipment and Magic Tonics. Even characters with 0 base Magic can heal if their equipment increases Magic.
- Corrected the wording and emphasis for Stamina in some languages.
- On Windows, if the game crashes while using an AMD GPU, you can now open the AMD compatibility mode settings from the crash report shown at the next launch. To enable it, select Apply and restart the game.
Thank you to everyone who has sent us requests and bug reports.
We hope you continue to enjoy Life Is a Dungeon: Lean into It.!
