About This Game

The Deep whispers. What will you become?

Before the fall there were many worlds, and at the heart of each burned a living core. The Delphyr were their keepers — until something below began to whisper. One by one the cores dimmed. One family remains untouched, and far beneath a dead world, one last core is crying out.

Dig Anywhere

The world is fully destructible. Carve your own path straight down through soil, stone, and the ruins of the keepers who fell before you — every descent is seeded fresh.

Fight Back

Rip a slab out of the ceiling with Cave Call and swing it through a horde. Blast packs off platforms with Tremor. Chain a four-hit melee combo into a ground-shattering finisher. Throw your pickaxe like a boomerang. Grapnel across caverns, up walls, and straight into a boss's face.

Light Against the Dark

Beneath the surface there is only your headlamp, until you raise a Sunmote and see what's been waiting around you.

Death Is Not the End — It's the Way Home

When the Deep unmakes your body, the golden thread of your family's bond pulls you back to the Sky Haven. You lose everything you carried. You keep everything they've made you. Doran rebuilds your grapnel, Brenna deepens your arcane magic, Lila tends the utility arts — then you go down again, stronger.

Take On Epic Bosses

The Stone Warden guards the way below: boulder barrages, wall-splitting lances, a bullet-hell second phase — and he is only the first.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some content in this game was created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then curated, edited, and integrated by hand by the solo developer. This includes: character and enemy sprite animations (AI-generated video processed by hand into sprite animations), environment and background artwork, the story tapestry illustrations, title and store artwork, music, and some sound effects. All such content is pre-rendered and ships with the game — nothing is generated live at runtime. All content was reviewed by the developer to ensure it does not include illegal or infringing material.
