All news Players around this date Read on Steam

Delve into the Deep or transport yourself on the conveyorbelts in the new Playtest!

Hop into the new levels of the playtest and try out the new areas. We've included two new experimental levels for you to try out! If you want to see the patchnotes, scroll down!

And UI Overhaul, new mechanics and new enemies to find in the new levels:

The first one will feature the teasered "Watertomb". Water is everywhere and you have to be quick on your feet to escape it.

I won't spoil the second one but it got a lot to do with newly introduced conveyorbelts. Check it out for yourself now on steam!

As said, the levels are very experimental and we would love to have your feedback. You can use the Feedback Button in the Main Menu to send us some!
