- An Update on Pricing - 12 February 2026
Hey everyone, I've been listening closely to your feedback regarding the launch price of The Oily Depths. After reviewing your comments and taking a hard look at where the game stands right now, I’ve decided to permanently reduce the base price from $7.99 to $2.99.

Right now, I believe this new price better reflects the scope and length of the game. For those who previously purchased the game: since The Oily Depths is a shorter experience, most players should still fall within Steam’s standard refund window.

Thank you to everyone for the suppo…

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 Korean Art 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…
