First Break Labs Releases Major Updates Across Its Indies Lineup

Boston - March 18, 2026 — Independent publishing collective First Break Labs is marking the Steam Spring Sale with a wave of content updates spanning its growing portfolio of community-loved indie titles, including Cthulhu’s Reach: Devil Reef, ILA: A Frosty Glide, Warside, Baseless, and Entropy Survivors. These updates arrive just in time for new and returning players to dive back in before the big spring discounts hit.

The Lovecraftian action-roguelike co-op dungeon crawler continues to evolve. The latest update introduces a Meta Progression System, letting players spend Dagonite between runs on tiered, permanent upgrades that carry over into future dives. Early perks include Deep Pockets, increasing starting gold.

A new Abyssal Reclamation feature also lets players reclaim their Dagonite investments and experiment freely, while Character Traits give each adventurer unique innate bonuses shown in their wardrobe bios. Additional polish includes hold-to-confirm safeguards on upgrades, refined Daily Tides leaderboards, and optimized level exit visuals for smoother Steam Deck performance.

The serene frozen adventure ILA: A Frosty Glide has added a new Post-Game Collectible Helper system to guide completionists toward missing secrets after finishing the main story. Collectible help can be temporarily hidden using emotes if you want to track them down uninterrupted.

Technical and quality-of-life improvements include fixes for unregistered treasure pickups, smoothed collision around the Arcana door, and correction of several out-of-bounds exploits. The update also refines multilingual text, tunes UI sounds for comfort, and strengthens overall stability.

Community creativity takes center stage in Warside's 1.6 “Creators’ Update”, emphasizing map authorship and ease of discovery. A massive overhaul to Skirmish mode now puts in-progress community missions at the top of the browser for instant access while also tracking top scores and ranks across maps.

The new mission rating system empowers players to highlight standout creations, with a Top 5 Trending Maps carousel showcasing the community’s best every month. Navigation, mission management, and performance tracking have all been streamlined to make exploring player-made content easier and more rewarding.

The 360° planet jumping shooter Baseless introduces new leaderboards, giving players fresh ways to challenge one another and solidify their ranks within the community’s sharpest shots. In addition there will be cash prizes for the top spots on the board by April 9, so stay tuned!

The chaotic co-op bullet-heaven Entropy Survivors celebrates the season with a festive St. Patrick’s Day event, featuring a shamrock-tinted hub and limited-time collectible dyes themed around Irish heritage. It’s the perfect moment to squad up and survive in style — green gear encouraged.

All updates will be released throughout the day on March 18th, ahead of the Steam Spring Sale beginning March 19th.
