- Patch notes and development update - 25 March 2026
Dev UpdateTo begin, we’d like to thank everyone who played Lost in Prayer and had fun discovering every nook and cranny of the game since its launch. We greatly appreciate your support! As you all know, Nine Dots is a small studio, and with Outward 2’s release being closer than ever, we had to rethink on how we distribute our resources to make sure we maintain the level of quality we expect from our games. This is why, after this patch for the Mastery update, we're going to halt progress on Lost in Prayer’s Early Access for a while. We'd like to apologize for not delivering the ambitious roadmap we promised nearly a year ago. We realized the game needed more than we initially planned to become a game we could all be proud of. Before its launch, we realized Lost in Prayer wasn't reaching an audience and wouldn’t be a financial success. We could have shipped the game in 1.0 with fewer fea…

Lots of big impact changes have been done to Lost in Prayer with this update. Let’s unpack. What’s new?The centerpiece of this update is the fresh Skill Tree system.

The real Mastery is how you will create the best build for your playstyle.Enhanced Skill EvolutionBeyond the new layout, we have ensured that skills evolve more substantially than they did pr…

Hello everyone,We'd like to thank you a lot for your early feedback on Lost in Prayer and we already released a first bug fix!

Finishing the game with some passives on were creating a game crash. Killing the boss and yourself at the same time was causing game crash. "Sick or Full of Life" event was causing game crash when only one enemy spawned.Thanks a lot,Join our Discord or give your feedback on Steam to help us improve the next patch. Lost in Prayer Team

Hi everyone!Today, Lost in Prayer launches in Early Access, and we are taking this opportunity to create a bundle for those who wish to support Nine Dots by collecting all of our games!Since we know that GoD Factory’s value is diminished by the fact that there aren’t many players on our servers, we will revise its price by cutting it by half to just 10$ USD in two weeks on July 29th.

- Steam Deck Compatibility - 2 July 2025
Hello,Just a few more days before you can get your hands on Lost in Prayer on PC and on Steam DECK!We’ve been working hard on making Lost in Prayer Steam deck compatible but Steam can’t verify it before we launch. Steam uses “automated heuristics”, whatever that means, to decide who will be the first to get verified. The more you play Lost in Prayer on your Steam deck, the more likely they will be to give us the verified status.From personal experiences we can tell that the game plays well on a Steam Deck.We will be working on getting officially verified as soon as we can.Here is what we can assure you is working on Steam Deck : Steam Cloud Saves All content can be accessed by using the default controller configurationPerformance have been optimized for Steam Deck. FOG and Ambient Oclusion are disabled when you launch on Steam Deck - you can activate them on the settings. Touchscreen is…

- Lost In Prayer will be out on July 15th! Play the demo now - 28 May 2025
You might want to watch the trailer first Follow a lost soul as they try everything in their power to escape an endless cycle of death. Blog posts that just exist to promote a trailer or drop a key date are boring... So I turned it into a marketing devblog :). That said, they are necessary, because dates matter. So let's get that part out of the way right now: JULY 15TH - SAVE THE DATE (AND TIME, AND MONEY). THAT’S OUR RELEASE. Now, that this is out of the way, I wanted to give you more info on how trailers like this one come together - creatively and technically. STEP 1 : Do we REALLY need to create a trailer? Creating a trailer is quite expensive resource-wise, so we can’t do them just because they’re cool to watch. Although they are cool to do and to watch! With our release date and Steam Next Fest approaching, we knew we needed a fresh trailer to show how the game has improved since…

- 5 days left to play Lost In Prayer Demo - 25 April 2025
Hey everyone, As development progresses, the current demo no longer represents where we are with the game today. We will take it offline on Wednesday, 30th. You can expect an updated version next month. Here is what we've been working on for the next demo? All playable characters – our goal is to make every enemy you encounter in the demo a playable character.

- Discover our Morality system - 21 February 2025
To all Angels and Demons, First off, I want to thank everyone who played the demo and who shared their feedback in our Discord server. Special thanks to Dagger, who created an early-tier list of the playable characters in the Demo. It’s great to see you tried all the characters and quickly established which one felt the strongest. While Godly Terrapin was the most OP during the playtest, it seems the Bishop has taken its place for the Demo. Introducing the Morality System : A Balance of Power and Consequences In many roguelikes and old-school RPGs, you need to distribute points in various stats such as strength, agility or intelligence to push your character into a specific set of aptitudes. However, often those stats attributions are obvious choices. The Warrior wants high strength for damage and a high constitution to trade hits. The rogue has high agility which is used both for offen…

- EVERYTHING WE NEED TO CONFESS - FEBRUARY 2025 - 6 February 2025
The Bishop will be a fully playable character in the upcoming Demo! To all Angels and Demons, We thought it would be great to address our latest updates through confessions. Rest assured we haven’t committed any mortal sins, at least not while working on the game. We have sinned by making the game not ambitious enough at first. So, the release window for Lost In Prayer is now for this summer to get more features and content in. As a repentance, we worked on a Demo available on February 11th. We've added randomized events in certain rooms for you to discover in the demo. For example, you might find ways to exchange your gear for other in the armory. We have strayed from our original Purgatory HUB. While we loved having all the characters displayed there, it wasn’t easy to navigate and didn’t scale well. We now have a selection screen, but we’re exploring ways to bring back some of the pr…
