The Return to Village button was deliberately removed in the public September 18 Dungeon Update. It had been added temporarily in Ver. 1.1.1 while dungeon-generation problems were being addressed. The developer removed that fallback after revising the generator; its absence on the updated game is not, by itself, a missing-menu bug.
What is verified
- Added as a temporary option in Ver. 1.1.1 on August 29.
- Removed by the public Dungeon Update on September 18.
- Unstuck is a separately named feature with a different stated purpose and destination.
Version-aware guidance
What changed recently
The September 18 announcement explicitly links Return to Village removal to fixes for corridors and walls appearing inside dungeon rooms.
Read the dated update timelineWhy an older guide shows a button you cannot find
Ver. 1.1.1 introduced Return to Village on August 29 and explicitly described it as temporary while the developer addressed dungeon generation. That context matters: the option was a fallback for the launch period, not a promise of a permanent escape mechanic.
On September 18, the public Dungeon Update changed generation logic and removed the button. Screenshots and instructions made between those dates can accurately describe their own version while no longer matching the current interface.
Return to Village and Unstuck are different
The 1.1.1 notes separately introduce Unstuck for being trapped or clipped out of bounds, with the dungeon entrance as its stated destination. Return to Village was the temporary village-return option. The September 18 removal names Return to Village specifically.
Do not infer that Unstuck has become a village teleport or that the announcement removes every recovery control. Consult the current menu and the Unstuck guide for that separate issue; this source set does not justify inventing a replacement hotkey.
Outdated advice to avoid
Do not follow older instructions that depend on a permanent Return to Village button. Do not rename Unstuck as a village teleport or assume the removed option can be restored in settings.
Frequently asked
Questions about fell and sell return to village button missing removed
Why is Return to Village missing from my menu?
The September 18 public Dungeon Update deliberately removes it after changes to the dungeon generator. An older guide showing the button reflects the temporary option added in 1.1.1.
Does Unstuck take me back to the village instead?
The 1.1.1 announcement gives Unstuck the dungeon entrance as its destination. Do not treat that separate recovery feature as a confirmed village teleport.
How was this guide verified?
Reviewed September 19, 2026 against the linked official Steam announcements. Ver. 1.4.3 is the named patch baseline; the September 18 public Dungeon Update is distinguished wherever it changes earlier advice. Older developer replies and community reports retain their original dates and labels.
