Still Wakes the Deep

Dear wonderful players of Still Wakes the Deep and its story expansion, Siren’s Rest. We're overjoyed to finally drop this release and read everyone’s incredible impressions and theories. We gathered representatives from each department that worked on the game (be sure to check the full credits!) and have a few paragraphs from each, resulting in a friendly little letter to the fans. Do let us know more of your impressions in the comments, follow us on Steam and other social media, and we’ll see you around!  Art Thank you to all the fans who have supported Still Wakes the Deep and who are excited to play Siren's Rest. So much hard work went into developing both the base game and the new expansion on the art side. It took many years to get to where it is today, and we are so pleased with how it has been received.

Hey everyone. Today, we are releasing a small patch that packs a punch - by thawing the frozen and demystifying the hidden. Thank you all so much for your patience as we have been working on this - your reports helped us identify patterns and locate the problem! Patch Notes: Fixed an issue that caused the fog to be incredibly potent in Still Wakes the Deep, especially on the deck. Now you can see your monsters friends clearly! Fixed an issue that caused freezes when the corruption effect played on both Still Wakes the Deep and Siren’s Rest, especially on AMD GPUs. This should have a positive knock-on effect for anyone who has other GPUs and also experience this issue. Made alterations to the umbilical cord during Scene 3 of Siren’s Rest. That’s all for now. Thank you all so much. 🌊
