In the months that the demo has been available for The Oily Depths the game has come a long way. This update brings the demo closer to the standard that the full game will ship as.Localization:

The game is now localized in a number of languages that are available in the demo,

French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and KoreanArt Pass:

The demo now has all the art assets that will be in the full game. The ship is looking better than ever, which also includes a lighting pass to give the ship a moodier feel.Game Settings:

By popular request there is now an Invert-Y Look option in the settings and also a way to adjust brightness. I wished these were in for the first launch for the demo, but at least I am now able to make the game accessible to more players.Sounds:

There has been a pass to make the sounds of the ship much more immersive. For an atmospheric horror game like The Oily Depths, sound plays a huge roll and I think this extra layer of polish will make for a more engrossing experience.If you have not already, please Wishlist the game and I hope to see you in the depths.
