Minimap Notes Were Announced on October 14

Underkeep minimap notes let players place their own notes directly on the minimap, according to the developer's October 14, 2026 announcement. The suggested uses include suspicious walls, places worth revisiting, unfinished tasks, and warnings to your future self. That makes the map a reminder system as well as a record of explored space.

The official Almost Ready to Descend update is the source for this addition. It discusses late development before the planned November release, so it does not establish that the older public demo received the same feature.

Mark What Requires a Return Visit

The official Underkeep website describes an automap with custom marks, while the October announcement specifically adds written minimap notes. Use those notes to preserve a useful question or next action rather than recording only that you visited an area.

Good notes could include:

  • A suspicious wall you want to inspect from another direction.
  • A locked door whose key you have not identified.
  • An obstacle that appears to require a tool.
  • A route you left unexplored while returning to recover.
  • A conversation or task you want to revisit before leaving the area.

These are organizational suggestions, not claims that every marked wall hides treasure or that every locked door opens with a key. Write what you actually encountered and what remains unresolved.

Keep Notes Separate From Automatic Discovery

A personal note is a reminder, not a confirmed secret or an automatic quest solution. If you label a wall “check later,” you have recorded a possibility. Only the game's response to your investigation can establish what is there.

The announcement does not specify a keyboard shortcut, mouse gesture, or exact button sequence for adding notes. Check the map interface in the version you are playing rather than relying on an invented right-click command or key combination.

If the old demo does not show a note option, compare its version with the October announcement before troubleshooting. The full-game development update and the public demo are different evidence contexts. Existing automapping does not prove that every later annotation or map-setting feature is available in the same build.

FAQ

Can I put my own notes on the minimap?

That feature is explicitly announced in the October 14, 2026 development update. Availability in a particular older demo build is not established by that announcement.

What should I mark?

The developer suggests suspicious walls, return locations, unfinished business, and personal warnings. Use specific notes that explain why you intend to return.

Is there a verified shortcut for adding a note?

The announcement confirms the feature but does not document an exact input sequence. Use the controls shown in your current map interface.
