The Social Hub
You spawn in a safe social hub between runs:

- Dungeon portals — Level 1 through Level 5 (Level 5 added in 1.0).
- Forge & armory — craft from blueprints, equip new gear.
- Other players — invite friends or join public sessions.

- Explore until you find the boss room (navigation guide).

Do I need friends to play?
No. Solo is supported. Co-op supports up to three players with revive mechanics — downed players can be revived by teammates holding out a hand.
