Update: Unlocking Meta Progression!

Our latest update for Cthulhu’s Reach: Devil Reef has arrived! This update introduces a host of new features to enrich your experience, including a revamped Meta Progression system, an expanded Diary, and a new weapon unlock system in the Hut. Let’s dive into the details!

Meta Progression
Weapons you’ve unlocked in the Diary now appear on the Hut’s weapon wall, ready for selection. Instead of relying on random drops, you’ll gather a rare new resource — Dagonite — and trade it for new weapons within the your Diary. This system allows you to assemble your arsenal before setting out, granting greater strategic control and ensuring you're fully prepared for the nightmares that await.





Your Diary Unlocked
Your personal Diary is now accessible mid-run and now includes a Journal. As you encounter eldritch monstrosities, you’ll unlock detailed entries revealing their weaknesses, behaviors, and lore. The deeper you delve into Devil Reef’s mysteries, the more knowledge you’ll gain—knowledge that just might keep you alive.



New Weapon Upgrade System
Experience a new way to upgrade your chosen weapons. Fine-tune their attributes to gain crucial advantages, ensuring you’re prepared to face the horrors lurking beneath the waves.

Graphic Settings
You can now switch between different resolutions, refresh rates, and choose between windowed or exclusive fullscreen mode to tailor the experience to your needs.

This update also brings balance adjustments, UI improvements, and bug fixes for a smoother gameplay experience. We’d love to hear your feedback—join the discussion in our forums or on Discord!

Good luck, and may the Great Old Ones spare your sanity… for now.
