Narcosis news & patch notes

Narcosis made its Steam debut a little over two years ago, and while the game continues to be purchased, played and streamed every day, we're eager to get it in the hands of even more players. With that in mind, we've permanently lowered the price from $19.99 (U.S.) to $14.99, with a corresponding chagne for all other regions, as well. We continue to be grateful for the thoughtful comments and positive responses from gamers around the world. If you haven't had a chance to check out what surprises lay beneath the surface, there's no better time than now... https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9759705/29eeb8c998fc8596f4c14a96c3e45cc660e6a855.png

Hello everyone, We have good news, the last update of the game finally made the DLC files available for all of you, check out the "DLC folder" launch options for the game in your steam library for an easy access (more info on that here ). Some of you already noticed this, but we wanted to be extra sure and not give you false hope again. The associated steam page with a description and track list will be up soon, but you can already enjoy the game's soundtrack, read the Surviving Oceanova book, or listen to the full Open Air interview! Thanks again for your patience and your support :)

Hi everyone. Many of you reached out to us to point out that you couldn't find the anniversary DLC content that we've announced. Following on that we found out that while our internal tests ran fine to update and access DLC, for a public release we needed an additional approval from Valve, which we're since waiting on. It shouldn't take long, but in the meantime the DLC will remain inaccessible. We'll keep you posted on that matter and tell you when the DLC is available as soon as it is up. Apologies from all of us, hopefully that will get sorted out quickly.

Narcosis debuted one year ago today, so as a 'thank you' to all of you who've taken this journey with us — and those still to come — we've updated the Steam edition of the game with some very exciting extras... First up: "Raptures of the Deep: A Journey into Narcosis," 15 ambient tracks inspired by our deep-sea survival story, including the eponymous closing theme from celebrated composer Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series). https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9759705/cf1b9e5a4a8823885b5d30800f1acbdf3b7467f1.png Also included: "Hell or Highwater: Surviving Oceanova," survivor Kip Mattas' official, first-person account of the catastrophe that captivated the world's attention on the Feb 21, 2021. Previously available only via Amazon, it's now included with the game. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9759705/657c64cef34558d21a647afcfd9c2dfbcae7038e.png Finally, we've also included the entire accompanying radio interview with Mr. Mattas on Open Air, now downloadable for your on-the-go listening pleasure. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9759705/2fda7d4f1d112053be0d8be114e96ab2a346969c.png For those of you interested in seeing how deep the game's narrative threads go, we hope you'll enjoy these 'supplementary materials,' which — in conjunction with the game, itself — comprise the "complete Narcosis experience." Thanks again, and remember: if you've enjoyed your time with our debut title, we hope you'll take a moment to spread the word, or leave a review. Narcosis is a small fish in a mighty big sea, and your support makes a difference. Honor Code, Inc.

Greetings, dear divers... Since Narcosis launched (nearly a year ago!) we've received quite a bit of praise, and not a few criticisms. In particular, there's one key level midway through the game that's a little less... explicit in its instructions, as to where to go, and how to get there. Those of you who've played it may remember the eighth level - fittingly called "FOLLOW PROCEDURE" - in which the Survivor finds himself (even more) lost and directionless, after an... unexpected encounter. Having read your feedback, and watched dozens of streams, we got the gang back together to try and make this particular section just a little bit easier. Narcosis is - at its dark heart - a survivor's story, and we hate to think that some of you might opt not to reach the (bitter? sweet?) conclusion, on account of some poor game balancing. If all that is too cryptic, a transcript of the change log is pasted below. Nothing too spoiler-y, but it's redacted, just in case... Whether its your first time playing, or if you're going through again to try and uncover some of the many, many secrets we've stashed deep beneath the sea, we hope you'll enjoy the journey, and share your thoughts with us. Finally, the one-year anniversary of the game's release is approaching. With that in mind, we've got a few more exciting announcements incoming... So watch this space! Change Log: + Changed start point + Changed blinking light depending of that new position (it disappears in the desert... That's normal) + Changed some fishes' paths + Added new trigger for spider in the desert + Added some path to go to the other side + Added anemones glowing in order to lure player to the other side + Changed a bit the slide of the volcanoes to better trap player + Made easier to climb the new way from the volcano to the exit

• What would you like to see in a "Special Edition," if such a thing were possible?
• Are there any rough edges that really stuck out?
• Questions left unanswered?
• Extras you'd like to see?

Hope you'll share some thoughts, but - please - keep 'em spoiler-free! (P.S. in case you missed it, there's an accompanying book, but you'll want to hold off on reading it until you've beaten the game, for sure...)

With Halloween rearing its ugly head, we're getting in the spirit of things with our biggest discount yet. For the next week, you can enjoy total terror, at half the price. Those of you who've already played the game will want to check out this interview — featuring a few familiar voices. In this wide-ranging interview, you'll hear all about about Narcosis' critically acclaimed voiceover work — from the actors themselves. And if you like what you've heard, please consider supporting the Level with Emily podcast — it's a smart, insightful celebration of the oft-unsung creators that work so hard to make the games you play, sound their best. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9759705/2893bb09e6d2fb6f9fefc8eea4fc42c4a01b4891.jpg

Want to cool down from the summer heat?

Now's the chance, enjoy the cold depths at 33% off during the Steam summer sales. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9759705/1e6e309da1c256080f6b7ed46770961c4ce02b5f.png

Occulus Touch Support

Adding to our support to VR platforms, we want to make sure that you can play on these with the associated input methods. Now, as we already discussed with some of you in the forums, we won't be able to support full motion controls, as that would require a significant amount of rework. That said, you can now enjoy Narcosis using Oculus Touch controllers, with the following (for now) fixed control scheme :

• Stick (Left Touch) : Movement
• Stick (Right Touch) : Rotation
• A (Right Touch) : Use/Menu validation
• B (Right Touch) : Cancel
• Y (Left Touch) : Recenter VR sensor
• Trigger (Left Touch) : Knife
• Trigger (Right Touch) : Flares
• Grip (Any Touch) : Thruster
• Menu key (L touch) : Menu

Vive controllers support is coming up as well, just need a bit more work. Changelist

• Oculus Touch Support (see above)
• Fixed the achievements "Signs of Life" and "Memento Mori" that didn't trigger for some people. If you're among them, they should unlock once you launch the game with this new update. (Thanks to Altermind for helping out with this)
• Balanced a bit oxygen supplies in some levels.

• Safe Zone decals updated upon level save
• Minor memory optimizations
• The "Wanderer effect" works when Vsync is "off" and running at a high framerate
• Japanese subtitles fixed
• "You're an engineer" VO subtitles fixed (all languages)
• Vertices adjusted in cafeteria so the "blood room" doors don't clip through walls
• Player-collider fixed on crane in training pool
• Fixed unclamped shader that occasionally causes a "white flash"
• Interpolation added to the mist-on-glass effect (to prevent flashing in/out)
• Fixed continue button displaying "commence"
• Credits updated
• "Open Air" no longer unlocked prior to credits
• Cuttlefish attack angle adjusted in "Back to Normal"
• Main Menu options adjusted: now says "Continue" instead of "Start Over" upon reaching the final sequence

Slowly but steadily, the reviews are rolling out, and by and large we're pleased with the reception: it seems that many reviewers, streamers and — most importantly — players recognize and appreciate our effort to try and do something a little bit different. One aspect that's received near-universal praise is the actor giving voice to the survivor's thoughts and fears. If you've seen one of the trailers, you've heard that captivating blend of weariness, fear and resolve. And if you've played Narcosis, you know there's more to this narration than is immediately apparent. This isn't just a survivor, but a human being. Three years ago, when we set out to cast the role, the very first person we talked to, turned out to be absolutely perfect: former podcaster (Weekend Confirmed), indie game enthusiast, and all-around gentleman Jeff Mattas. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9759705/cbb55d80654c4d77cb7f6837205c6b170b843cb5.jpg Jeff's performance has been called out by media from around the world, describing it as "top-notch," "on-point," and "outstanding" — and we couldn't agree more. Since coming on board, he's been working tirelessly with the team, patiently indulging a ridiculous number of rewrites and requests to get Every. Word. Right. And as it turns out, he's also one hell of a writer — he truly brought his character to life, both at the keyboard and behind the mic. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9759705/2fda7d4f1d112053be0d8be114e96ab2a346969c.png Thank you, Jeff, and all the best in moving on to bigger, better roles — many talented people gave their best to bring Narcosis to life, but you're the one to give it a voice.
