Deep Shadow was created in just 48 hours as a passion-fueled dive into atmospheric underwater exploration. Since then, the response has been amazing, and it’s clear: this game wants to go deeper.
But to do that…
We need your help to bring Deep Shadows to Steam!
Steam requires a $100 fee to publish — and we’re aiming to raise that through the paid PC version of the game right here on Itch.io.
The WebGL version will stay free so everyone can try it —
But if you enjoyed it and want to see the game evolve, consider grabbing the PC version or paying what you can.
Every dollar counts — and directly funds our expansion!
We're already planning a post-jam expansion of the game. Here's a sneak peek:
✨ New Level Graphics – Better visuals, atmosphere, and creepy underwater vibes
🗺️ More Levels – Expanding the world and adding new biomes to explore
🔗 New Mechanics – More cargo types, interactions, and hazards
🦑 Deeper Threats – Smarter creatures that react and adapt
📖 Story Mode – With full typewriter-style narrative and lore
💬 Steam Achievements + Controller Support
Your support now doesn't just help fund Steam release —
It shows us there's a community behind this strange little underwater world. 💙
🎉 Supporters will be credited in the final version
🎁 And might even get early access sneak peeks...
Whether you’re just playing the demo or pitching in a few bucks,
thank you for diving into the Deep Shadow.
Let’s bring this weird, quiet, shadowy world to the surface — together.
