From Press Release:
Below the Stone, a dwarf-themed mining roguelike by developer Strollart and publisher Apogee Entertainment, reaches new depths to unearth the new “Caves Awaken” update today on PC via Steam Early Access and GOG.
Delve even deeper to find new enemies, traps, updates, and more!
The walls…they’re alive! With the addition of Caves Awaken, time is of the essence. Keep an eye on the clock as periodic Cavern events unleash hellish waves of enemies during every descent.
Risk and reward emerge from the ruins as dwarven treasure-seekers face off against the all-new Shade monsters, whose spawn rate increases the more time spent underground.
Miners beware: the newly-added Monster Closets wait beneath the rubble. Uncover new enemy spawn points that throw a monkey wrench into digging sessions. Carve a path out of harm’s way when encountering Boomstone traps, which trigger directional explosions when hit.
Chart a course towards objectives, or look for access points leading to loot-filled caverns with the newly added Mega-map. Plan a path through labyrinthine underground layers of rubble, leaving markers in previously-plundered areas to prevent accidental backtracking.
Amidst the increased threat of annihilation, enjoy quality-of-life updates like improved graphics, updated breakable objects, added gameplay modifiers, new NPCs, and much more.
Below the Stone is now available on PC via Steam Early Access and GOG, and will unearth a release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S later in 2025.
