Evaluation

Horripilant launched on February 20, 2026 and has been actively updated since. On June 11, 2026, the developer stated in the version 1.4 patch notes that update 1.5 is in development and will be "the last content addition to the game," as the game is "pretty content complete." This update is centered on NG+ (New Game Plus) mode. On August 13, 2026, the developer confirmed NG+ was still being worked on, with the note "we're doing cool stuff, takes a bit of time, look forward to it." This post also announced the game's console launch on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S on August 27, 2026. Most recently, on September 11, 2026, the developer posted about a merchandise drop and explicitly noted that "NG+ is not out quite yet and still needs time in the oven." This confirms that NG+ / update 1.5 remains unshipped as of that date and is still in active development. The developer has been clear and consistent: one more content update (update 1.5 with NG+) is coming, after which the game's content will be complete.

About this game

Horripilant is a chilling incremental dungeon crawl through the horrors of a forgotten underworld. Combining idler, puzzle and autobattler elements, you'll fight, mine, and think your way through the depths of a forsaken dungeon. With each step you'll grow stronger, but beware; every boon has its burden.

Story

You awaken. An old, battered knight, lost in the darkest corners of an abandoned dungeon, with no memory of how you got there. The stench of decay permeates the thick air. The walls seem to whisper your name.

A strange tree catches your eye. Barely a sprout, growing in defiance of the dark. The voice demands you hit it. A twig breaks off onto the ground. The first of many.

Distorted moans echo from an empty staircase. Beckoning you. You must go down. It is your purpose...

Encounter bizarre characters, solve cryptic puzzles, and survive the horrors that lurk in every shadow. Will you escape this living nightmare, or will it consume you?

Features

  • Incrementally gain and collect materials.

  • Combat horrific foes over 1000 floors in the dungeon.

  • Solve puzzles and explore the depths of your camp.

  • Upgrade your gear to venture deeper.

  • Meet God

  • Become worthy

Repeat, adapt, and survive. The depths need you, and you, them.
