In the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Depth, a party of people-shaped pastries must take on a shiver of sharks. That’s right, a shiver — as in the sensation that will travel the length of your easily broken spine when you realize you’ve declared war on a perfectly evolved hunter that’s ruled the ocean for a long ass time.
Depth has been slowly evolving — kind of like a certain sea-dwelling killing machine — since its arrival on Steam Early Access last November. Developer Digital Confectioners has done an impressive job in diversifying the game’s selection of ginormous murder fish, which now stars the Great White, Tiger, Mako, Hammerhead, Thresher and Bull shark. That last one was introduced this week. Let’s take a minute to get to know him.
Digital Confectioners describes the Bull shark as “a medium threat with an anger problem, making it an aggressive and unpredictable foe. Though it lacks immediate force, the Bull’s true strength lies in its ability to Enrage, temporarily becoming one of the strongest beasts in the sea.” Tweak that last bit and that would also apply to at least two of my uncles.
There’s more than 400 types of sharks in the world, and that’s just the types we know about. I’m sure there’s at least one remaining Megalodon left in some miles-deep ocean crevice, eating stray Krakens and waiting for the chance to taste its next human.
