Evaluation

Lunacid launched into Early Access on March 15, 2022 and received major content updates — including the Castle Content Update (September 15, 2022) and Boiling Grotto Content Update (January 14, 2023) — before graduating to its full 1.0 release on October 30, 2023, described by the developer as "feature and level complete." Post-launch support has been consistent: a feature patch in January 2024, a Halloween update in October 2024, and a localization update that brought the game to new languages. A free spin-off, Lunacid: Tears of the Moon, was released on April 12, 2025. Most critically, a paid DLC for the main game is actively in development. On January 4, 2026, the developer posted that the DLC was approximately 70% complete and described it as their "current main project" and what they spend "most of my time on." This commitment was reinforced on August 17, 2026 — today — when a bug fix patch was posted with a note explicitly stating the developer had been "working on the soon to come dlc." This is a direct, current confirmation that the DLC remains in active development and has not yet shipped.
Evidence
Bug fix patch notes include a direct aside: 'Sorry for taking so long on this update! I've had some of these bugs fixed for a while but was working on the soon to come dlc.' Confirms DLC is still in development as of today.

About this game

From the creator of Lost in Vivo and Spooky’s Jump Scare Mansion, Lunacid is a horror ARPG from a bygone era. Immerse yourself in a dark, desperate world full of foes, lost souls, and hidden secrets.

A World Shrouded in Darkness

Long ago, the Great Beast arose from the sea and covered the earth in poison fog. Choking out the land of both life and light, a new era of wonderous misery began.

Centuries have passed. The once hallowed halls and bustling streets are mere shadows. Those deemed undesirable are thrown into the Great Well, a pit of chaos and disease. Cast into its depths for crimes unknown, you awaken in this moonlit subterranean world. Your only hope lies with the sleeping Old One deep below. But many perils lie between you and your ultimate goal.

An Era Lost to Time

From the mind of horror master Akuma Kira, Lunacid harkens to a lost era of first-person ARPGs. Legendary for their meticulous design and dense dungeons, the King’s Field series was the Dark Souls before there was a Dark Souls. Long abandoned by AA/AAA developers, the mantle of “King’s-Like” is left to the humble indie. Which is great, because that's where all the cool weird stuff comes from anyways.

The world of Lunacid is bursting at the seams with new things to discover, from hidden magics to secret areas. This isn’t just the odd room with a chest in it; entire new areas await those with a watchful eye. Esoteric puzzles and cryptic hints galore are sure to confound and delight even the experienced dungeon delver.

Tactile Combat

Take yourself back to a time before dodge rolling. Swipe, backstep, block, and overcome foes with patience and persistence. Featuring a robust body targeting system and unique elemental weaknesses/resistances, each encounter becomes a skilful yet deadly dance of death. Begin your journey as a thief, knight, cleric, or… vampire? Building your character up to you.

An Arsenal to Uncover

Over 75 weapons await you in the fetid halls of Lunacid. 37 Unique spells, each with applications beyond the obvious. Finding them all, however, is another matter. Unless you use a guide. Which hey, we won’t judge.┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌

Classic RPG Challenge

Don’t forget to save.

Featuring dozens of hours of gameplay and multiple endings, Lunacid is a rich and rewarding take on a classic formula. Relics of past game design long abandoned lie in wait. So jump in the Great Well and let the wonders of Lunacid surprise you. Mimics might just steal your silver instead of eat you.
