Latest Steam announcements

• Tomb of the Bloodletter: Your Keyboard Is the Weapon - 1 October 2026

  Not a metaphor. The letters are the arsenal. Tomb of the Bloodletter is a strategic word roguelike where you build words out of the letters you hold and the words do the damage. Find the combinations that hurt most and take a dingy tomb apart with vocabulary. Tomb of the Bloodletter is on sale during the Steam Autumn Sale, October 1 to October 8.

• The Dockhand Has Arrived! - 3 April 2026

  Hello everyone! I'm happy to introduce Tomb of the Bloodletter's newest character: The Dockhand! He can only spell words that are six letters or less, so you'll have to make clever use of his random toolset! Additionally, I've added two new steam achievements to the game, one for beating it with each of the two newest characters (The Hothead and The Dockhand). We’re also part of the indie.io Franchise Sale, and the game is currently 25% off ( the lowest it’ll be for the foreseeable future), so there's never been a better time to jump into the tomb! I'm looking forward to seeing the new strategies you all come up with, and if you'd like to discuss the game or provide any feedback, please join our community discord! - EthanPS: Check out some other great indie games in the indie.io Franchise Sale.

• Tomb of the Bloodletter 20% off in Spring Sale! - 19 March 2026

  Hello everyone! Tomb of the Bloodletter is 20% off for the Steam Spring Sale, and now's the best time yet to give it a go! Players have been really liking the new Hothead character, and there are now some very helpful community-made guides for getting started in the Tomb! Plus, an EVEN NEWER character is on the horizon! Start playing now so you're ready when this new nautically-themed friend washes ashore on April 3! I hope you all look forward to the new character, and I'm happy everyone is enjoying the game thus far!- Ethan

• New character! - 1 March 2026

  Hello everyone! It's been almost a month now since TOTB came out, and I'm really glad people seem to be liking it! I'm excited to share that the first of 4 new characters is now available to unlock, once you've beaten the game with the first 4. I'm really happy with how this character's turned out, as it's going to encourage a playstyle that revolves almost entirely around the Fury mechanic, which some players seem hesitant to engage with. I won't say much more about the Hothead because I think his abilities will be a fun surprise, but I think he'll do a good job shaking the game up for any players who've gotten used to relying on certain strategies. Additionally, I've drastically improved the history panel! It now displays a graph of your lifetime letter usage, and keeps track of all the Magicks you have (and haven't) used!Smaller changes include a few bug fixes, polish updates, and so…

• Update 2/16/2026 - 16 February 2026

  Hello everyone! This is a fairly big update! I have: - fixed a crash bug with hand cannon enemy - added a few new magicks that should've been there since the beginning - adjusted some enemies' hp to make things a bit easier - added new, stronger "bonuses" for choosing less desirable magicks - slightly nerfed prophet's healing - fixed a few visual bugs Thanks for playing and let me know if I broke anything! - Ethan

• patch notes 2/12/2026 - 12 February 2026

  - added "reduce visual noise" toggle to options menu - slightly rebalanced some magick costs (wallop will come with more negative costs, restraint will come with less negative costs) - added a flag to the final room of a run, to signify it has no reward
