Deep Dish Dungeon

Deep Dish Dungeon is an exploration and survival adventure set in a hand-built dungeon. Instead of working through a randomly generated sequence of arenas, players are meant to uncover fixed paths, branches, puzzles and hidden connections. Collected resources go into tools, meals and upgrades for a camp, which serves as the base for further expeditions. The developers describe the game explicitly as an adventure that does not constantly explain its hints and relies on careful observation.

The full game is set to release on October 13, 2026 on PC and Xbox Series X|S. Raw Fury is also announcing its addition to Xbox Game Pass at the same time. This date is an upcoming sales launch, not a release that has already happened. A separate demo is also available on Steam, offering a limited look at the systems of exploration, combat and camp building.

Confirmed are PC via Steam and the Xbox PC ecosystem, as well as Xbox Series X|S. Raw Fury mentions Game Pass, Xbox Play Anywhere and cloud playability in the Xbox lineup. Cloud streaming is not a standalone native platform version. The Steam store also lists requirements for macOS, which counts as part of the PC version. A native Xbox One, PlayStation or Switch version is not confirmed in the official announcements referenced.

For Windows, Steam lists at least Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a Core i3, 8 GB RAM, a DirectX 11-capable graphics setup and 2 GB storage. Recommended are a Core i5, 16 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 580 or Radeon HD 7870 or newer hardware. The store also lists macOS with at least a Core i3 and 8 GB RAM. An internet connection is required for cooperative online play.

According to Behold Studios, the dungeon consists of deliberately designed rooms and passages. Players examine walls, doors and clues, find treasures and open up previously inaccessible areas with newly crafted tools. Exploration combines Metroidvania elements with survival systems without tying progress solely to combat. Patience and recognising connections are part of the concept.

Resources collected on the way can be processed into new equipment. Crafting tools not only prepares you for battle but can also open new paths and make the next expedition easier. Trips into the dungeon and upgrading your own camp are therefore linked. Which recipes you can craft at the start depends on the ingredients you find and the areas you explore.

In Deep Dish Dungeon, food is not only a consumable for immediate healing. Discovered recipes are meant to affect different stats and open up additional options for later expeditions. At the campfire, the group cooks meals, organises its supplies and plans the next route. Recipes are unlocked as you explore further, so collected ingredients provide their own form of progress.

The various enemies in the dungeon are meant to have their own behaviours, which can be observed and exploited with suitable tools. Hidden rooms, valuable finds and environmental puzzles complement the battles. The studio stresses a deliberately sparing use of hints: if you stand in front of a locked door, you often have to revisit paths and previously overlooked details instead of following a constant quest marker.

The game can be explored solo or in online co-op with up to two other players. Behold Studios describes multiplayer as working together to discover, share knowledge and look after the group. Competition or separate task roles are not a required core principle. The Steam page also lists cross-platform multiplayer as a feature; the exact combinations of stores and consoles supported are not fully documented before launch.

On September 30, 2026, Behold Studios announced that Valve had rated Deep Dish Dungeon as Steam Deck Verified. Raw Fury also mentions an Xbox handheld verification and Xbox Play Anywhere. These ratings describe playability on portable PC devices, not separate releases for Nintendo Switch or Android.

The Steam store lists German user interface and subtitles, but no full German voice-over. A total of eleven text languages are listed. Along with cloud saves and achievements, solo and online co-op modes are offered. Claims about extensive accessibility input options or whether every puzzle is actually accessible cannot be confirmed from the store listing alone.

Deep Dish Dungeon is developed by Behold Studios, known for Knights of Pen & Paper and Chroma Squad, among others. The publisher is Raw Fury. In its developer updates, the studio describes a project that has grown over several years and, ahead of the planned launch, is working on balancing progression, puzzles, multiplayer features and quality-of-life improvements.
