Dive The Depths (Prelude)
A downloadable game
DISCLAIMER: The build here is not fully representative of what the final game will be like, there are still performance issues and a bunch of missing content/features, but I'm always working on those :D
A diver sent down into the deepest depths of the vast and treacherous oceans to discover secrets untold. You will face formidable adversaries, ferocious creatures and maybe even some people. Conquer the ocean, lest it conquer you.
The treacherous depths are home to ruthless creatures doing what they can to survive. Anything alive is fair game, and that includes you. Face deadly adversaries that will do everything they can to take you down. Turn the tides, or drown in them.
Challenge memorable bosses that will put your skills to the test and leave you gasping for air, from the slow-paced and methodical to the breakneck and downright bullet hells. These titans will do whatever they can to annihilate you, but should you prevail, you will be rewarded handsomely.
As you dive deeper into the watery depths, challenges will arise. Explore biomes filled with their own unique species, discover items and secrets untold. Stand up to these challenges, or be crushed under the pressure.
Discover a variety of items, from stat steroids to run makers, you will find everything you need down in the depths.
What are you waiting for diver? The ocean calls.

and man, what AMAZING art !!
Thank you :) We have the best pixel artist in the WORLD! <3 <3 <3
love u little diver
Little Diver says thank you <3
Very fun game! I liked collecting items and seeing my character 1 shot enemies and even bosses. Proc chains when?
Proc chains are already in the game ;) Try to mess around with the items! There are around 28 different items right now that kinda stack in various ways.
The game is fun with a good amount of proper feedback. There are minor issues here and there (like the main menu's box selection disappearing if going beyond the last boxes and the intro text appearing when re-approaching the merchant in the middle of a boss battle.
Other than that, it's a good game that feels responsive and has very fluid and nice animations to go along with it.
Thank you for the feedback! We will look into and fix the issues mentioned! :)
The Art is spot on! The game is basically a horror game for the first few hours as you discover enemies and learn about how to kill them.
I'd like some way of recording the enemies attack patterns so that I can figure out how to keep myself alive while being chased by 4 or 5 of them.
Thank you! And that's a great idea! We are working on a in game appendix right now! That should address this issue :)
Omg it's adictive, i lost to a random boss and now i want to play all day haha, try the different weapons to see what's best for you, and good luck with the bosses. The art of this game is amazing too :D it really makes you feel the pressure of the ocean
Thank you :) Yes! We intend to make the player feel the depths of the ocean :) Keep trying! Hope you beat all 3 bosses
What a tranquil experience! The soothing ambiance and immersive gameplay offer a much-needed respite for gamers like myself looking to unwind and escape the constant rush of adrenaline-fueled action.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad that is a tranquil experience. But...if you dived deeper and faced the bosses, you might not find it so tranquil after all ;)
I really liked the visual style of the game. Nice animation, very addictive game process <3
Thank you uWu. We have an amazing artist c:
The gameplay is actually really fun, I personally love the mechanic of the anchor weapon the most. The art style fits the theme really well too!
Thanks for the kind words! The anchor is a tricky weapon to master, but can be really effective at getting out of hostile situations! :)
great game with a fantastic art style. Loved playing it.
Good
Thank you!
Great art, addictive gameplay, what's not to like?
Thanks for the kind words :)
as a avid roguelike gamer i really like how the mobs/adds can attack each other and also steal exp from the player. really cool mechanic! the boss spawning vfx/sfx also really hypes the player up
Glad that a roguelike fan appreciates our game :) Keep the ideas coming and feel free to join our discord with the link in the description above to suggest new enemies and features!
Came from the discord(s). I love the atmosphere and the challenge. Always up for games that scratch the thalassophobia itch.
Thanks for the kind words buddy c:
The thalassophobia will scratch you back ... But thanks for the kind words :) More updates coming soon...
very poggers mr kangfu
go away <3
Fun roguelike game, played for many hours and never got bored of it. Looking forward to its release!
Still got a very long way to go, but thanks for sticking along :D
