‘Depth’ Update Adds Dive-Bombing Sharks

Published

on

Digital Confectioners has fin-ished the next expansion for its competitive aquatic horror game Depth that introduces another substantial dose of free content to what continues to be the best shark lunch simulator on Steam. In addition to an array of technical improvements and improved performance, the ‘Tails from the East’ expansion includes 65 new shark and weapon skins to unlock by playing PvP on the official servers, a map called Breach that features a sunken pirate ship, and a frightening new ability for the sharks called breaching.

Starting immediately, Team Scuba Snacks will need to expand their awareness to include the area directly above them lest they run the risk of being dive-bombed by sharks. If that doesn’t leave you quivering in your flippers, you must be one cool sea cucumber.

The timing really couldn’t be better, since Depth is just $6.24 (75% off!) thanks to the Steam Summer Sale. And for our friends in the East, a new matchmaking region for East Asia arrived with this update, along with language support for Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Finally, I’d like to tell you the tale of One Shark, Two Sharks, Red Shark, Blue Shark.

Long ago there lived two brothers, Frost the Ice Dragon, and Flame the Fire Dragon. Flame possessed a hot temper, a fiery heart, and eyes like burning rubies. Frost held a cool disposition, a curious spirit, and brilliant eyes the shade of sapphires.

One day Frost saw chaos ensuing below the seas they controlled and took the form of a Great White shark to investigate below. Tough blue scales covered him from nose to fin, and ice-cold horns protruded from his face and all the way down his back. Flame with his competitive spirit followed suit, shape-shifting into a crimson red Great White.

From the depths came terrible sea-monsters, which attacked all that lived above their dominion. Angered by this the two brothers worked tirelessly and fought back the monsters, driving them back into the depths. Pleased with the harmony they had returned to the sea, both Frost and Flame kept their Great White form and it is said to this day they rule from below bringing peace across all seas.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
