Deeper
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Deeper is a 3D platformer game where you won’t have to go up but down!
In this game you will find yourself at the top of an abyss with the only objective of reaching the bottom. When you are on a platform you have to look around the world and choose the next platform to land on. Your decisions are important and greatly influence the descent: maybe by choosing an easy platform you will find yourself facing a more difficult route than you imagined, maybe by risking difficult routes you may come across tools that can help you on the descent... or maybe not! The only certainty is that with every fall you take damage and the higher the fall the more you get hurt. Your curiosity pushes you deeper and deeper into this abyss, but you won't be able to climb back out. How much are you willing to risk?

Hello, I have a question about the path to get to the end. I arrived at the checkerboard platform that is under the spiral right after the prototype ending. Can I ask you where am I supposed to go now?
Hi, thanks for playing Deeper. Under the board you should see four cubes, 3 of them are traps that collapse while one will take you forward on the path
Thanks! I managed to reach the ending and found a little bug: after the ending, when you get back to the menu screen the mouse cursor disappears.
Also, is the place where you find "Marlowe's memories" actually supposed to be a dead end or is it a way to get out?
Anyway, I really appreciate all the improvement from the previous version and I have been having lots of fun!
Thanks for reporting, we will fix the bug as soon as possible.
We don't want to give any kind of spoiler, if you read the note there you know the answer ;)
I didn't really get the point of the game. There is no explanation, no introduction, nothing.
Moving felt very wierd and the character very heavy.
There is no fall damage animaton or indication so, at the begining, I thought I could just drop from anywhere and have nothing happen to me.
Level design felt very messy and cluncky to traverse
I assume the objective is to get to the bottom of the cave but what are you suposed to do when you get there? This game would benefit from a tutorial.
I liked the prototype, but I think that a controller support for this kind of game would be really nice. Are You planning to add it?
We have already implemented a controller support but not for all the controls. If you connect a PS4/PS5 controller it should work! We didn't test with other gamepads, report us if it doesn't work!
Oh ok thank you. I'll try it again tomorrow!
