About the Game
Explore the Abyssal Pool, an underwater labyrinth of drowned ruins, lost idols, and mutated monsters. Lead a band of desperate survivors with Jack, a haunted man with a singular purpose: to save what's left of humanity.
Evade or fight what lurks in the dark. And try to appease the Maker of Rain before he floods the world in his black tears.
Plunge into the cursed Abyssal Pool, where every descent is a deadly gamble. Navigate sunken ruins, face eldritch horrors in darkness, and race against dwindling oxygen. Knowledge and skill are your only guides in the challenging depths.
Lead desperate survivors where death is permanent and sacrifice is inevitable. Manage health and sanity. Decide who joins, who dives, who dies. No One is safe
Transform your fragile camp into humanity's last refuge. Assign vital roles to your survivors, improve their skillset and craft them new tools & equipment. Balance resources against time to upgrade essential structures. A stronger camp means deeper dives and better chances of surviving another day.
Search for sacred relics scattered across the drowned world. Find them all before the final Flood drowns everything forever.
Time is running out; every day matters. Will you find redemption in the depths, or join the countless souls already claimed by the Black Rain?

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Aye, I figured you'd come by... and it's time for a first patch of the first patch.
If your save is currently stuck in a soft-lock state, try reloading it with the new patch as it might be fixed depending on the exact cause.
So, here's the only fix for the patch note 1.0.3.858.
Fixed a bug introduced in the last patch that caused equipment stats to be calculated as if only the first upgrade had been applied, ignoring stats from any additional upgrades.
Here's the link on 🤖 How to report a bug.
We will continue working on bug fixes and some of your requests for the upcoming patches.
You can also share feedback and suggestions on Steam or Discord!

Aye, I figured you'd come by... and this time it's for the first patch.
You've been diving for a couple days now, and you've been sending us everything you've found down there: bugs, oddities.
We've been reading all of it and we're dedicated to fixing them as soon as we can. We also want to apologize for the few game-breaking bugs that have been plaguing the discovery of the game for some of you.
If your save is currently stuck in a soft-lock state, try reloading it with the new patch as it might be fixed depending on the exact cause.
So, here's the first round of fixes for the patch note 1.0.4.857.
Fixed a number of edge cases that could possibly lead to soft-locks when coming back from a dive, including an issue with the Dark arts IV skills. If your save happened to be locked in this state, you should be able to reload it again.
Fixed a soft-lock state that could happen after dismissing a survivor that was previously manning the Infirmary.
Fixed a few possible edge cases that could cause the Eldritch spider to freeze after latching onto you.
Fixed a localization error when having duplicated input bindings.
Fixed the “Use tool” input not properly rebinding.
Fixed a bug that caused upkeeps and other daily occurrences to happen twice when reloading the game on the post-dive reports.
Added the ability to move toward the cursor using any directional input with mouse steering enabled, instead of just “up”.
Added additional logs and crash reporting features in the backend to facilitate debugging.
Here's the link on 🤖 How to report a bug.
If something still looks wrong down there, tell us, we will continue working on remaining bug fixes and some of your requests for upcoming patches.
