Prestige in Loop Dungeon Incremental: What We Can Verify So Far

What is prestige in Loop Dungeon Incremental?

Prestige is an advertised reset loop with permanent growth; Playsect has not published step-by-step reset rules in the Steam store text, news posts, or screenshots checked on 2026-10-20. All figures below are from that day.

• Free Demo announcement (2026-06-06): “Prestige to reset, and return exponentially stronger with permanent upgrades.”
• Steam store page, under Endless Progression: “Even after a reset, your progress continues through powerful prestige bonuses that help you reach deeper floors and unlock new opportunities.”

Those lines confirm reset, permanent bonuses, and long-term progression—not costs or carry-over lists. See Levels and areas guide for level UI; Endless mode and autocast FAQ for “endless” marketing wording.

Where is the Prestige button?

Official Steam screenshots show a bottom bar on the skill tree and level-select screens: Back, Prestige, Play (left to right). In-run combat shots from the same set omit this bar.

Claims we could not verify

Some players reported locked skills after prestiging with a migrated demo save.
