  • Removed an invisible interactable from Level 2
  • Fixed shadow flickering on objects in level 4
  • Fixed shadow flickering caused by camera panning near candles in level 7

  • Adjusted the "vision" doors in Level 3 to remain open as long as either player was looking at an eye
  • Blocked players from interacting with each others panels in Level 6
  • Improved the resolution of various UI elements
  • Fixed a potential soft lock caused by backtracking toward the end of Level 5
  • Fixed an issue where a puzzle on level 5 could increase in time infinitely
  • Fixed an issue where the a spinner on Level 8 didn't lock after completing it
  • Fixed a rare desync issue on Level 2 where the large players door failed to open after the small player completed a puzzle

Thank you so much to all of the players who have been reporting bugs! Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to find and fix these bugs so quickly.

Our Super Secret Launch Competition 🤫

EDIT: This competition has now ended. The prizes have been claimed

To celebrate the launch of In Sink, we’re running a super secret competition!

Can you solve the mystery to win prizes for yourself and your partner?



Be the first to solve the mystery and win either a plush toy of in-game characters Crabby & Cutey or a $50 Steam Gift card!*


Although we can’t provide any specific details about the competition, such as “how do I enter” and “where can I find the answers,” we can confirm that you’ll need to play the final game of In Sink in order to find the secret, so keep them eyes peeled and ears open as you play through each level.


Once you find the secret, please select the correct option for your region of residence. The two options you will be presented with are: “North America and Europe (excluding Russia & Ukraine)” and “All Other Regions.”


Only residents of North America and Europe (excluding Russia & Ukraine) are eligible to receive the Crabby & Cutey plushies as their prizes due to postage and packaging restrictions. To keep things fair, only residents from all other regions (including Russia & Ukraine) are eligible to receive the two $50 Steam Gift cards. This means that we will have two winning co-op pairs: the first co-op pair to find the secret from North America and Europe (excluding Russia & Ukraine) and the first one from All Other Regions.


If one member of your co-op pair lives outside of North America and Europe (excluding Russia & Ukraine), you will need to select “All Other Regions” since you will not be eligible for the plushies, even if the other member of your co-op pair lives within North America and Europe (excluding Russia & Ukraine).


If you try to enter the competition for both regions, you will be disqualified entirely and you will not receive any of the prizes.
