Thanks! I've bookmarked your blog now and look forward to future articles. As for dying: have you checked the 1-page Quick Start guide? If you're dying early and often, you might not be buying the right equipment for your character. The quick start guide gives you hints at what equipment best matches the skills your character has.
This seems like exactly the kind of roguelike I want to play, but is there a way to make the background black? Or at least a darker color? The bright brown makes it unplayable for me 😭
Yes! In the DOS version, launch with "chambers -p". In the Windows version, you can make this change in the chambers.conf file in \Program Files (x86)\The Chambers Beneath\dosbox\. The -p parameter switches to the "nostalgic" CGA palette of black, cyan, magenta, and white.

Wow, you are the CGA master!!
Thanks to genesis8bit.fr, I heard about this game and it was a good surprise. Graphics are great even if they only use CGA colors.
It is easy to learn, hard to master. I die in sublevel two every single time.
Thanks for this game, I think I'll talk about it on my french speaking blog.
Have a good weekend

I've looked at the quickstart guide. So I try to follow it the best I can.
My small article (in french): https://blog.fredericbezies-ep.fr/2025/07/27/the-chamber-beneath-un-tres-bon-rog...
There is an embedded video, but I wasn't very lucky and I died too soon :(
I will not despair and try again later today.
Have a good sunday.

Thank you!!
INCREDIBLE use of this palette, you're truly a CGA master.
Such an awesome release! Thanks
