Question 1

What is Sephiria?

Accepted Answer

Sephiria is a pixel-art action roguelite developed by TEAM HORAY (the Dungreed studio). You play as a rabbit warrior climbing the Tower of Sephiria through 6 chapters with 6 weapons and ~300 artifacts. It supports 1-4 player co-op and carries a Very Positive rating on Steam. The full 1.0 launched July 31, 2026.

Question 2

When is the full 1.0 release?

Accepted Answer

The full 1.0 launch is July 31, 2026. The game spent 484 days in Early Access on Steam (April 2025 → July 2026), with 58 updates during that period.

Question 3

Is it single-player or co-op?

Accepted Answer

Both. You can play solo or in online co-op with up to 4 players. Enemy health and damage scale with player count, so solo play is fully balanced and viable.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

No, Sephiria supports online co-op only. There is no split-screen or local multiplayer.

Up to 4 players in online co-op. Solo play is also fully supported.

Question 6

How many weapons are there?

Accepted Answer

6 weapon types: Sword & Shield, Greatsword, Dagger, Katana, Crossbow, and Staff. Each weapon branch has its own upgrade tree and a unique mastery system.

Question 7

What are artifacts?

Accepted Answer

Artifacts are per-run passive items that modify your stats and abilities. There are ~300 artifacts at 1.0. They reset each run — permanent progression lives in Inscriptions, Talents, and unlockable Artifacts.

Question 8

What is the Inscription system?

Accepted Answer

Inscriptions are permanent socketable bonuses that persist between runs — unlike artifacts which reset. Destiny Inscriptions cover offensive, defensive, utility, and special categories, and are purchased with sapphires earned from runs.

Question 9

Is there crossplay?

Accepted Answer

Crossplay details are still being finalized for the 1.0 launch. Check the official Steam page for the latest information.

Question 10

How long is a full run?

Accepted Answer

A full run through all 6 chapters takes roughly an hour or more, depending on exploration thoroughness, build strength, and whether you attempt optional encounters.

Question 11

How many chapters and bosses are there?

Accepted Answer

6 chapters with 10+ boss encounters — at least one per chapter, plus optional encounters for players who explore.

Question 12

What happens when you die?

Accepted Answer

In solo, death ends the run. In co-op, teammates have a short window to revive you while you are in a downed state. If fully killed, you are eliminated for the current room.

Question 13

Are there microtransactions?

Accepted Answer

No in-game microtransactions. The game is a single purchase on Steam.

Question 15

Is there a demo?

Yes. A free demo is available on Steam. It includes the first chapter (The Rooted Depths) and provides an introduction to the core gameplay loop. Progress does not carry over to the full game.

Question 16

How long is the demo?

Accepted Answer

The free Steam demo includes the first chapter, which takes roughly 15-30 minutes to complete depending on exploration.

Question 17

Is there progression between runs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Inscriptions, weapon mastery levels, and discovered artifacts are permanent unlocks that carry between runs. This makes each subsequent run easier even when you die.
