OUT NOW: Heart's Depth 2.5 Update


Hello everyone! Happy National Seashell Day!! (and happy update day)

We've been working super hard for y'all these past few months, and we can't tell you how excited we are to bring these changes to our game.

FIRST OFF: this isn't a new chapter, not quite yet. Apologies for that - but we decided it'd be better to focus on improving the existing experience first. 

What's new?

  • Hunter's sprites have been totally revamped! He also has emotions now. Check him out!
  • We have a gallery now! You can view all 3 CGs there after you unlock them.
  • Grandpa talks a little more now...
    • He's got a totally new scene, with a new background and everything. 
    • He also gets a cool extra image...play and see it for yourself!
  • New SFX! More sounds to enhance your fishy experience.
  • New music! We have some original music made by Joel Sanderson in the game now.
  • There's a little thing in the corner of the textbox now (click to continue icon)
  • New background image for a specific scene.
  • Grandpa's letter! See this at the beginning instead of the previous opening.

Changes to existing game:

  • Even further story changes: tons and tons
    • We've overhauled the entire beginning to flow nicer and make more sense
    • Hunter is way cooler now (and he finally gets a romantic boat ride! Totally!)
    • We cannot emphasize enough how many writing adjustments we've made this time.
  • All of our CGs have been totally revamped! They have totally new life in them!
  • Some backgrounds have been revamped as well:
    • The port
    • The underground market
    • Skylla's cave
  • The protagonist's fish sprite has been completely reworked as well. Guppy time.
  • Camera movements have been adjusted in certain scenes for better game feel.
  • The protagonist's sprite is flipped from previous (now she's looking at the story she's in!)

What's next?

  • We're still working on the next chapter of our story.
    • We want it perfect for y'all, so just hang in there a little longer.
  • Updated protagonist sprites soon.
