Update: Echoes of the Abyss

Venture deeper into the unknown with this latest update, where both peril and mystery intensify. The horrors of the reef grow louder and the stakes, higher.
  • New Act II Soundtrack: Surrender to the haunting, ever-shifting Act II soundtrack, which ebbs and flows with the relentless tides of danger. New boss battle music heightens the monstrous horrors, amplifying their grip as Mother Hydra closes in on you.

  • Refined Gamepad Controls: The gamepad stick now offers greater precision, allowing for more deliberate actions and better defense against the rising chaos that threatens your soul.

  • Segmented Boss Health Bar: The monstrous horrors of the reef now reveal their health as you progress. Once a threshold is crossed, their fury intensifies and each stage brings more brutal, malicious attacks.



  • Player Dialogue: Your beleaguered adventurer now murmurs fragments of resolve or despair, their voice echoing faintly in the void when waves of abominations are vanquished.

Other fixes and improvements have also been made, calming the chaotic forces of the reef. You can now focus fully on your grim task: surviving the horrors that await.

Whispers from the Deep: A Patch Beneath the Waves

This update fixes several bugs related to gameplay, minimap, music, and enemy behavior. It also adds death music and ensures proper boss area teleportation.

  • Fixed a bug where music would sometimes not play correctly.
  • Added death music.
  • Fixed a bug where the minimap could be visible when it shouldn't.
  • Implemented enemies chasing players from a long distance when injured.
  • Fixed a bug where players could walk out of bounds on the beach.
  • Fixed an issue where keys would sometimes remain visible on the minimap after being collected.
  • Fixed a bug where ammo pickups would sometimes bob up and down.
  • Fixed an issue where players were not teleported as a group to the boss area when encountering a boss.

ACT II - HYDRA'S HOLLOW

Introducing a huge new update to Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef in Act II: Hydra's Hollow.

Discover an ever-expanding realm with new corridors and new creatures around every corner, each more terrifying than the last.

Take on Mother Hydra, a grotesque boss inspired by classic Lovecraftian mythos. Brave red-hot, magma-laden caverns and halt the terrors conjured by the Esoteric Priests’ dark rituals.

Eliminate eldritch abominations from afar with powerful new weapons like the rifle. Get creative and take advantage of destructible furniture for even more tactical combat options.

Enjoy new QoL updates, including a minimap for improved navigation! Keep fear buried and battle to stave off the echoed whispers worming through your mind.

Act II Hydra's Hollow is out now!
