About the Game
Withering Rooms is a challenging 2.5D horror RPG set in a procedurally generated Victorian mansion that changes each night.
Steam Deck: Withering Rooms has been played start to finish by multiple people on a Steam Deck and we believe it meets all of Valve's Steam Deck Compatibility guidelines. We are waiting on a Steam Deck Verification review from Valve.
- Explore Mostyn House to gather weapons, distractions, magical artifacts, keys, and crafting materials.
- Take on a huge cast of monsters and bosses - overgrown undead, invisible ghosts, devious witches, axe wielding madmen, and many more.
- Discover secret passageways, dusty attics filled with treasure, and even the ever-changing Byzantine Labyrinth that lies beneath Mostyn House.
- Take the sting out of death by performing rituals to preserve items from night to night or permanently level up.
- Meet a cast of strange friends, merchants, liars, and witches each with their own agenda.
- Cast a wide variety of spells - create hex traps on closet doors, enchant suits of armor to assist you, or create a decoy mimic of yourself.
- Greater dangers - and greater treasures - await you in the hedge mazes, tombs, caves, churches, and ruins beyond the Mostyn House grounds.

We're entering the final stages of Early Access - the release date for the game on Steam and consoles will be announced soon. Thank you to everyone who has played, submitted bug reports or made suggestions! The game has changed dramatically for the better because of your feedback.
I am deep in polish and bug fixing for the full release at the moment, so bug reports are very valuable. You can submit a bug report(which includes a save game to help me reproduce the issue) in-game by pressing / (slash key) at any time, or using the Options menu.
There is still a surprise or two in store for the full release. Thank you for your support!

- Purchase the Organ Chamber schematic in Nowhere starting in Chapter 3
- Find the Labyrinth Organ Chamber schematic in the western Cave area starting in Chapter 3.

- The appearance of doors in the Attic and Basement in all chapters have been improved.

- Enemies proceed through doors much more quickly.
- Doors are marked as "in use" when an enemy is walking through them and cannot be used by Nightingale.
- Enemies are much more aggressive when coming out of doors, in some cases launching surprise attacks.
- Enemies are much more aggressive when waking from paralysis.

- Fix an issue where enemy attack cooldowns were fully reset upon seeing the player in some cases.
