Nextfest Demo Available Now

Hey everyone,

The Steam Nextfest is coming up and thus we have prepared a brand new demo version of Dusky Depths for you to play!

You can download the demo on our Steam page.

We've made a lot of changes, both minor and major, since the playtest in december. If you have participated in the playtest, you will find many bugfixes, performance improvements, quality of life improvements, UI refinements and more.

Here's a short list of the highlights:

• The Map screen is now available

• The UI scaling can now be adjusted

• By default, the HUD is now a bit less cluttered

• Additional HUD customization options have been added

• Several UI icons have been changed for more clarity

• The design of several friendly objects in the world has been revamped

• Color correction has been implemented, giving the game a more interesting look

• Framerate stuttering has been significantly reduced

• ... and many more changes!

Additionally, we have prepared a brand new trailer for the Nextfest. Check it out!

As Dusky Depths is still in development, we are still open to any kind of feedback from the players. Join our Discord or just comment under this article, we will definitely read it!
