Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss news & patch notes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44990893/23852074462240453c9ffc279658745818d4a272.png Creating the universe of Thalassa and approaching harder-to-digest topics with delicacy has been the biggest mission of Sarepta Studio for the past 6 years. Game Designer Catharina Boehler gives glimpses of how life on Thalassa came to be, the merging of history, loss and beauty of nature in this mysterious exploration game. Art of Thalassa represents the deep sea's beauty, tranquility, and mystery, as vast as what our inner worlds may look like. In the second episode of our MiniDoc series our Art Director Kjartan Forthun and Game Designer Catharina Boehler share the main goals and challenges of the artistic journey of Thalassa. What makes the world of Thalassa different? Well, it is a representation of the beauty of all things unknown. Perhaps, the deep ocean is not a scary place but somewhere you can find reflections of everything you once loved - just like our inner worlds. We are happy to announce the mini-documentary series and the artbook and deluxe edition release of Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss! If you're interested in learning more and seeing exclusive concept art of this journey you can now check out the Thalass Deluxe bundle --> https://store.steampowered.com/sub/1068806/

Thalassa Deluxe Edition allows you to learn the mysteries and life of Thalassa the ship with a 84 page Digital Artbook, 3D Print files for each of the characters that allow you to print the underwater world and explore the details by hand, and get an answer to perhaps the most important question of Thalassa's demise: What happened to Poly the cat? In the Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss Comic. Learn the history of Thalassa crew, and experience the story of Poly from adoption to the demise of Thalassa. Join the journey of Cam in this melancholic underwater journey and explore the beauty of the deep sea.

Hey everyone! We hope you've enjoyed our Demo of Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss and are enjoying the build up to our August 1st launch date! Today, we bring our second Thalassa Deep Dive, a segment that breaks down one specific area in our game! In this video we'll be delving into the lore and history of the ship - the S.S. Thalassa.

Thalassa Deep Dive #2 I S.S. Thalassa 🚢

The start of the 20th Century saw great strides being made on air, land and sea. In air travel, the Wright brothers had just flown the first motor-driven airplane. On land, Henry Ford began the first mass-produced automobile. So, what groundbreaking developments were occurring with Sea travel? In Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss, you’ll find yourself in 1905. Stepping into the shoes of Cam, a deep-sea diver embarking on a new mission on the S.S Thalassa. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44990893/9ef4151bdc9df21ca4293feab2dbe3d52130edc2.gif At the time of its construction, the S.S Thalassa was at the forefront of sea exploration. This vessel would expand the limits of Maritime History and Archaeology. In its latest expedition, the ship will raise from the depths the remains of St. Catherine, a Spanish Galleon that has slumbered beneath the waves for nearly 300 years. This undertaking is no small feat and before heading off, a group of investors gathered on the docked ship. During their time onboard the S.S Thalassa, they were told their pledges would not just be funding an expedition, but a history making opportunity. After raising funds, the voyage on the S.S Thalassa began. A crew consisting of twelve main members set off, retracing St. Catherine’s path 300 years prior. Your journey will begin on the S.S. Thalassa. However, like most journeys, it won’t end in the way it begun. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44990893/d7e22d89997cb115a2066e322d42e8d46d1c916c.gif

Today, we bring our very first Thalassa Deep Dive, a segment that looks at specific mechanics in our game! We saw during Steam Next Fest, that some players had questions regarding how to solve mysteries and wanted a few tips on how to progress through Thalassa. So, we're going to cover off all these points today in our Mysteries Deep Dive! Today, we bring our very first Thalassa Deep Dive, a segment that looks at specific mechanics in our game! We saw during Steam Next Fest that some players had questions about how to solve mysteries and wanted a few tips on progressing through Thalassa. So, we will cover all these points today in our Mysteries Deep Dive!

Thalassa Deep Dive #1 I Mysteries ❓

In Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss, Cam's goal is to find out why the S.S. Thalassa sunk. To find this information, you must step into the shoes of Cam and delve deep into the ocean on a solo mission, to visit the shipwreck sat on a seemingly endless chasm. Before discovering the mystery of the ship's fate, you must solve individual mysteries which will reveal more information about S.S. Thalassa's expedition. Whilst exploring the shipwreck, you'll find clues in expedition plans, crew photographs, audio recordings via wax rolls, and more. When clues are gathered, the mystery menu is where you’ll piece clues together and progress through the rich narrative of Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44990893/c291b32ba8d088cb723dd8545c04f4bf34106531.png The mystery solving menu is split into three sections:

• On the left-hand side, you’ll find clues and information you’ve collected during your expedition.
• Above this are the four categories of clues: main clues, objects, documents, and wax rolls. Each mystery will require a different category of clues to find the puzzles deduction.
• On the right side, you have the mystery featuring a description of the mystery, the clue that triggered the mystery and the empty clue slots which of course, need clues to solve the individual mystery. To do so, select the empty clue slot, then the item you want to place.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44990893/e821f350f8b1501d46902823db5a71bf5f74c1c7.png When placed clues in all slots, see if they piece together. Any wrong assumptions will be highlighted red, with correct assumptions turning gold. At the beginning of Thalassa, you’ll be tasked with piecing two to three clues together. Deeper into the game, you’ll need to link multiple clues together to solve mysteries. In this case, it’s possible to have pieces of the assumption correct and highlighted in gold, with the mystery remaining unsolved due to errors in other areas of the mystery. Keep evaluating the information or keep exploring the S.S. Thalassa to find the remaining clues to solve the individual mystery. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44990893/69ac24460e063c4bc763a28c90673536e34e2573.gif When all clues are successfully pieced together, a conclusion can then be made. This will reveal the deduction result, with new clues given. These results can also bring new mysteries to solve and open new areas of the map to explore. Some conclusions will awaken scenes showing the events unfolding, but we'll leave you to see more of that in the upcoming weeks! Our tips for completing Mysteries

• Utilise the guide text of the clues when linking clues to empty mystery slots. This text is integral to finding conclusions and if you look closely enough, can even contain puzzle solving hints.
• As you play, continue searching for clues. If you feel stuck, revisit previous areas, and remain curious. The more information you gather, the more you’ll discover about Thalassa’s unfortunate fate.
• The Map Menu can be essential for finding final clues. When viewing the map, some areas will be located as 'Crucial Areas' or 'Area of Interests'. If a room has either of these labels, clues remain in these areas. Venture back to these rooms and explore to find those final clues!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44990893/c110d9badef72c3ba472cbb1d8533c5801b4b640.png And remember, it’s all up to you to find answers onboard the wreckage. 🫡
