Quick Guide

  • Rebirth is Depth Incremental’s reset-and-grow loop: official description — “Rebirth, grow stronger, dive deeper 🔥”.
  • Confirmed: rebirth resets your run in exchange for permanent strength.
  • Not yet officially documented: the exact reset list and per-rebirth bonus numbers — marked unverified here rather than invented.
  • Timing signal: when income flattens across All Layers, rebirth beats grinding.

What Rebirth Is For

Incremental games eventually hit a wall: prices rise faster than income, and every run reaches the point where starting over with permanent bonuses beats pushing the same curve. Depth Incremental’s answer is Rebirth — the official description lists it as a core feature: “Rebirth, grow stronger, dive deeper.”

The mechanic reframes the whole game: a run is not a failure state to protect, it is fuel. Cash, depth, and upgrades are the run; rebirth power is the account. The Beginner Guide shows the first run; this page is about when and why to cash it in.

Reset rules: pending official detail

The developer confirms the reset-for-strength exchange but has not published the exact list of what resets and what persists. We fill those cells in as verified — no guessed mechanics.

When Rebirthing Beats Pushing

Income flattens

When the next Best Upgrades costs more than it returns within a session, the curve has stalled — rebirth.

Step walls stack

Two consecutive Unlock Next Layer needing multi-session grinds is the classic signal.

Boss double-stall

A boss gate that beats you twice is asking for rebirth power, not another retry — see How to Defeat Bosses.

Dig economy slows

When Luck-stacked digs stop funding upgrades, the run has paid out — bank it as strength.

Planning the Next Run

A rebirth well spent changes the shape of the next descent: early Upgrade Trees arrive faster, fossil rooms fund sooner with Luck from Codes stacked, and old boss gates become formalities. The practical walkthrough — where the entrance lives and the prep sequence — is in How to Rebirth.
