DemonCrawl includes a tutorial that covers all of the basic minesweeper mechanics. In fact, some players believe that DemonCrawl is the best way to learn minesweeper - the RPG-like health system means you won't necessarily lose by making just a single mistake.

We also recommend watching other DemonCrawl players on Twitch if you're interested in learning more advanced strategy!

DemonCrawl includes a Casual Mode with 100% solvable boards (no guessing), but if you wish to beat the game on Normal or Hard difficulty, you may need to guess sometimes.

The reason is simple: without guessing, there is no justification for adding items or other RPG mechanics to minesweeper. If every situation was 100% solvable, one could simply ignore all of DemonCrawl's extra mechanics and coast to victory - in fact that would be the optimal manner of play.

Instead, we want players to engage with our systems and feel rewarded for doing so. With strategic use of items, you can dramatically increase your chance of success. DemonCrawl is fundamentally a game about risk management.

We encourage new players to try the Novice Mastery, which was designed to reduce the frustration of guessing without removing guesses entirely.

As of 2026, the best place to reach Therefore Games is via our Discord server - we have dedicated forums for bug reports, suggestions, player-created loadouts and more. Come say hi!

There are zero microtransactions in the sense of lootboxes or other chance-based rewards. However, DemonCrawl does have paid DLC add-ons, which are listed on our Steam store page. These help fund continued development many years after the game's launch.

DemonCrawl officially runs in either 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio. You may configure the game client to run in any resolution, but you may encounter minor visual artifacts (e.g. black bars or stretched backgrounds) if you choose an unsupported ratio.

DemonCrawl save files are tied to your Steam account on PC and Google Play account on Android. You can access your data from another device as long as you are signed into the same account. At this time, save files cannot be transferred from PC to Android or vice versa. You may disable cloud functionality altogether if you so choose.

You can restore your purchase of AdBlock or the Full Game on a mobile device by simply tapping the "buy" button again from the main menu. As long as you're signed into the same Google/Apple account, DemonCrawl will detect your purchase history and unlock the features for you.

Since launching DemonCrawl in November of 2019, we have successfully ported it to Mac, Linux, iOS and Android. However, due to frequent changes in the publishing requirements of mobile platforms, we did not have the resources to continue supporting DemonCrawl on those stores, so the game is exclusively available on desktop platforms via Steam at the moment. We would like to revisit the idea of porting to mobile and other consoles again in the future.

Therefore Games is an indie dev studio based out of Ohio.

Founded by Eric Black in 2019, we are passionate about bringing original ideas to gamers around the world. To sum up our way of thinking, "if AAA studios won't make roguelite minesweeper, we'll just do it ourselves."

We have other ideas for new games but have decided to focus our energy on DemonCrawl for the time being.

Endless Multiverse relies on frequent texture page swapping due to the dynamic nature of the stage graphics. This can cause slowdowns on certain video cards. If you have an nVidia GPU, please see the following thread for a possible solution:

The solution involves changing a 3D setting within nVidia cPanel. AMD and Intel users may have access to equivalent settings, although we cannot confirm at this time.
