Greetings, Adventurers!

Today marks a major update for Mark of the Deep, directly inspired by your invaluable feedback. This update introduces significant gameplay improvements, new mechanics, and quality-of-life enhancements to ensure your adventures feel better than ever.

We're also excited to announce a special collaboration bundle with the acclaimed roguelike Curse of the Dead Gods.


Enemy Improvements

• Enemy Stagger System:
  Enemies and bosses can now be staggered after consecutive hits, adding depth and strategy to combat. The stagger amount scales with the Rookie’s attacks.
  
• Boss Rebalancing:
  
• Takon: Enhanced damage and faster animations make for a more challenging and dynamic encounter.
  
• Nereida: Completely redesigned fight, tailored for better integration with core gameplay.

Rookie Enhancements

• Enhanced Roll Mechanics:
  Rookie now moves faster immediately after rolling, and rolls can interrupt basic attacks at any time for increased fluidity.
  
• Adjusted Hookshot:
  A new minimum distance requirement has been added, ensuring strategic positioning is essential.

Introducing the In-Game Map

• A biome-level map is now available, clearly indicating Rookie’s current position and biome names.
  
• It also highlights biomes where Angry Mermaid crew members await rescue, while preserving the sense of exploration by leaving finer details to be discovered.

Check out our new video showcasing these major enhancements, alongside screenshots of the newly introduced in-game map.


We're thrilled to announce a partnership with the hit roguelike, Curse of the Dead Gods! Explore both games in this bundle and experience the best of action-adventure roguelikes.

Hey everyone,

We just rolled out a small update to fix a couple of issues some players ran into:

• Fixed a soft lock that could happen after talking to the Leviathan.
  
• Fixed an issue with Caelen's journal in the Royal Garden.

This should be live on all platforms now. If you run into anything else, let us know. We’re keeping an eye on your feedback.

Thanks for playing and for all the support!

Hey everyone,

We just released Patch 1.0.0.0.2! We appreciate your support, and every bit of feedback helps us continue refining the game.

Patch Notes:
✅ Fixed an issue where a crash during the Leviathan Cutscene could cause a softlock, preventing gates from reopening. Now, the gates will always open when reloading.
✅ Fixed an issue where keyboard bindings were not saving properly.
✅ Fixed minor localization issues across various languages.
✅ Fixed a bug where a potion appeared in the inventory before the player had acquired one.
✅ Implemented a new font for Traditional and Simplified Chinese for better readability.
