The Salty demo just got its biggest visual pass yet.

If you played it in the last couple of weeks, it's worth another look — the ocean looks like a different game. WHAT'S NEW - All-new lighting and shading — the whole ocean has been relit. Vents glow warmer, the jelly cave reads deeper, and your cell's own light now sits properly in the water instead of washing it out.

Reworked creatures — the microbes have been rebuilt from real reference. Paramecium bursaria, the little green ciliate that farms algae inside its own body, got the full treatment first.

Deeper limestone layering — the rock walls have real depth now, with layered strata that recede into the dark instead of sitting flat behind you.

8 new languages — Salty now runs in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.

Plus a pile of smaller fixes and polish passes throughout.
