Sephiria has officially launched.
Hello! This is TEAM HORAY.
It's been eight years since we released our previous title, Dungreed.
Sephiria began as a project at the end of 2021.
The prototype, January 4, 2022
Over 484 days of Early Access and 58 updates, Sephiria has grown into a far bigger game than it once was.
- 6 chapters
- Six weapon branches with over 200 upgrades
- About 300 Artifacts · about 70 Tablets · over 30 Potions
- Over 20 costumes
- 18 Hard Mode elements
- Support for 12 languages · online co-op for up to 4 players
All of it was built on your feedback. 🥕
You reported bugs with great care,
pointed out mistranslations,
made mods even though mod support didn't exist,
gave us criticism without holding back,
and helped one another in the community.
Thank you to everyone who guided our team to the Sephiria we have today.
A Tribute to Our Early Access Players
As a small token of our gratitude, everyone who purchased Sephiria before the official release will receive a badge shown in multiplayer.
TEAM HORAY will keep monitoring the game and doing our best to fix issues so that Sephiria keeps improving.
If you run into problems or have suggestions, please let us know through our Discord.
