If you've seen the update recap, you’ve probably guessed what's coming next: automatons.

So let's debate - what's the best automaton in popular culture? Film, TV, droids... (looking at you, R2-D2)

Comment your pick & let's debate it in the Discord: discord.gg/invite/tFK4d...

Divers!

We hope you've been enjoying tackling the flames in the first Brimstone update with those new tools, new enemy encounters, and sub improvements.

As we approach the release of Brimstone Act 2, here's an update sneak peak of what's still to come! 👀

You HAVE to fight one:
Bristleworm 🪱 or Angler Fish 🐟

Which opponent are you choosing?

One crewmate falls asleep during hull breaches 😴

One crewmate gets food poisioning from tinned tubeworms 🤢

One crewmate brings a wrench to fight sea monsters. 🦑

So... which one are you?

#indiegame #coopgame #survivalgame
Reminder: check on your crewmates before the deep sea pressure does.

This is what happens when you don’t. 🫧

Technically, this was not in the job description.

But sure, we'll deal with the giant tentacle monster again.

Try not to get too scared by the spooky lobby décor.

Yes, that’s a jack-o’-lantern made from a tubeworm can.

Happy Halloween, Divers 🎃

🦐 Fact:
A shrimp's heart is in... it's head.

Well, it's actually in the thorax but that's in the same exoskeleton as its brain. Basically, their heart is in their head.

🦐 Fact:
Shrimp swim backwards! They use their abdomen and tail muscles to swim fast.

While they can swim forwards, they'll be slower when doing so.

Let's talk more about shimp on the Darkwater Discord: discord.gg/invite/tFK4d...

I’m going to need a bigger knife.

And lots of therapy.

🦐 Fact:
There are around 2,000 species of shrimp and you can find them in both fresh and salt water.

That's a lot of shrimp!
