Murky Divers Discord

If you have bugs to report or feedback for us, you can leave your comments here or you can join our Discord!

Today we also launched the demo for our next title- Storebound!
[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Storebound is a 1-3 co-op survival horror where you play as ordinary shoppers trapped in an endless store. Find the exit together at all costs before the "employees" catch you.

This demo offers a glimpse into the mall — a fragment of the story within the larger experience of the full game.

We are extremely grateful to everyone who played Murky Divers and we plan to keep supporting the game. We think if you enjoyed Murky Divers, Storebound will be right up your alley!

See you next time, divers!

[h2]Murky Divers – Patch 1.2.2[/h2][p]ATTENTION RECRUITS![/p][p]This update is mostly focused on tightening the screws and cleaning up some of the darker corners of the abyss. Here’s what’s been fixed in version 1.2.2:[/p]

• [p]Fixed several lag spikes caused by enemy navigation, especially for hosts.[/p]
• [p]Fixed the challenges that were randomized each game instead of being consistent for the current week.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where respawn would fail when launching an expedition with the Mine Curse active.[/p]
• [p]Smoothed the end of the expedition transition for the player using the lever.[/p]

[p]Thanks for all the bug reports and feedback, it helps more than you think![/p][p][/p][h2]What lies Beneath[/h2][p]We're brewing something weird and wonderful for Update 1.3, coming October 2025...[/p][p]You’ve been collecting all those body parts, but did you ever wonder if they’re collecting something back?[/p][p]Next update, expect more surprises when handling the remains of the deep. Some of them might whisper. Some might scream. Some might... do other things.[/p][p]Stay curious, and maybe keep one hand free.[/p][p]
[/p]

[p]ATTENTION RECRUITS![/p][p]As we mark one year since the inception of Operation: Murky Divers, over 600,000 of you have bravely plunged into the depths to ensure PharmaCorps' operations run as smoothly as possible.[/p][p]To commemorate this milestone, PharmaCorps is proud to unveil the ✨1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY UPDATE✨, now available for all divers.
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]What's New in This Update:[/h2]

• [p]New Biome - Apothec Corps: A limb to the past. To celebrate the anniversary of your favorite company, Pharma invites you to delve into the origins of its creation, when the company was nothing more than an itinerant apothecary store with somewhat avant-garde illegal practices. [/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]Two New Lifeforms: Our labs have detected two previously unknown entities. Classification is pending, but early observations indicate they're... lively.[/p]
  • [p]Big Mama & her little Fellas: A devoted mother who takes care of her small group of tadpole offspring. Careful, we lack information about their behavior[/p]
  • [p]🌛Selfish Moon Emerges: A celestial sibling to the infamous Selfish Sun has been spotted. Preliminary tests show heightened instability and... pretentiousness? Divers are advised to keep their distance, and their prayers handy. [/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]New Curses: A myserious life form found in hidden expedition sites can now grant you 4 new curses on top of the 3 existing ones. They offer greater rewards but also greater risks! [/p]
• [p]Core Gameplay Improvements:[/p]
  • [p]Shopping Carts Standardized: No more tears over lost carts. They now respawn between expeditions and are limited to three per team. In a rare act of corporate generosity, PharmaCorps is providing your first cart free of charge, always ready, always loyal.[/p]
  • [p]Scooter Enhancements: Now upgraded with a stylish new basket, the scooter can act as a miniature cart and is easier to control. However, it’s still prone to... unfortunate disappearances. Treat it kindly.[/p]
  • [p]Depth Station Expanded: The Depth Station now allows you to select your next biome after each expedition. Battery usage to dive deeper is now independent of that choice. Efficiency meets flexibility.[/p]
  • [p]Smarter Creature Spawns: Creatures now appear deeper within expedition sites, giving you a little breathing room during your initial descent. Probably.[/p]
  • [p]Item Cost Rebalancing: Several item prices in the dispenser have been adjusted. Some went down. Others didn’t.[/p]
• [p]🛠️Bug Fixes and Improvements: Our engineers have addressed several issues to enhance your underwater experience. Remember, a smoother dive is a happier dive. [/p][p][/p]

[h2]Tutorial Facility Now Operational:[/h2][p]A dedicated new PharmaCorps training center has opened its reinforced blast doors! This immersive tutorial facility will teach you the basics of murky diving, safely, effectively, and with minimal trauma.[/p][p]Complete it to earn your official diving certificate and unlock a new skin.
Available when launching the game for the first time, or accessible anytime from the main menu.[/p][p][/p][h2]Diver Plushie Initiative:[/h2][p]You asked. We listened. PharmaCorps is exploring the creation of official diver plushies! [/p][p]Simply follow this link and register your interest. [/p][p]If enough of you back the project, cuddly corporate compliance will become a reality.[/p][p][/p][p]Your unwavering compliance, adaptability, and ability to scream underwater continue to be the cornerstones of our success.[/p][p][/p][p]Sincerely,[/p][p][/p][p]Pharma Corps Management[/p][p]
[/p]

Attention recruits,

It’s hard to believe, but we’re coming up on one whole year of operations with more than ✨600k of you✨, and what a journey it’s been.


To commemorate, PharmaCorps has been quietly working behind the scenes for a Major Anniversary Update. While full access to classified details remains restricted, we are authorized to share the following intel:

• A previously uncharted Biome has been flagged for exploration
  
• Two new lifeforms have been identified and require field observation (please avoid petting)
  
• ███ ████: group of several creatures, at first sight harmless, to be confirmed
  
  • 🌛 Selfish Moon: sibling of the Selfish Sun found in Atlantis, our initial tests show far greater instability and █████████
    
  • New curse and trade agreements have been established
    
• 🛠️ Bugfixes and improvements will help your work
  

As always, your compliance, adaptability, and ability to scream underwater are greatly appreciated.


As of this quarter, our recruitment program has successfully onboarded over 600,000 Divers into active deployment. That’s over half a million individuals committed to pushing the boundaries of exploration, research, and mildly experimental procedures. Your dedication (fills us with gratitude) has been... statistically remarkable.

We’re excited to keep building the glory of PharmaCorps with you 🏆. We’ll be sharing more details soon. Until then, continue your assigned duties, report any unusual encounters, and remember:

PharmaCorps sees you. PharmaCorps thanks you. PharmaCorps care.
