Thank you to everyone who played the free Playtest. It is closed now so the last week can go into launch.
Gradanix releases on Steam on Wednesday 9 September 2026. Wishlist it and Steam will tell you the moment it is live.
Everyone starts together: the leaderboards have been wiped and Season 1 — First Descent begins fresh on release day. Playtest progress and achievements never carried over to the full game, so nobody arrives with a head start.

See you on the 9th.

Fixed a hit-arc bug where standing point-blank on a…Patch release 0.3.36The developer can now find a player who is reporting a bug, join their game, and message everyone at once. Because that touches you, here is exactly what the game now sends, what is kept, and for how long.
