Attention Recruits, [b]Today marks an extraordinary day for Pharma Corps[/b]. Roughly six months ago, we unveiled Murky Divers to the world—a call for brave divers. After a few... let's call them [i]unsuccessful experiments[/i], the ocean became a bit of a liability. We needed elite divers to clean up our mess, discretely remove evidence, and, most importantly, ensure that none of our little “accidents” were discovered by the authorities. Your bravery, skill, and discretion have been invaluable. With the success we’ve been seeing, Pharma Corps knew it was time to escalate operations. Early Access was merely a test run—a controlled experiment. Now, the real work begins, and the stakes have never been higher. [b]Welcome to the 1.0. [/b] [h1]🎥 Launch Trailer[/h1] Diving in for the first time? Check out our [b]Launch Trailer[/b] below! [previewyoutube=nuE-R7O0Zpk;full][/previewyoutube] [h1] NEW Game Content[/h1] [i][b]Murky Divers has received a wealth of feedback and suggestions during Early Access[/b][/i], and we’ve taken it all to heart. Here at Pharma Corps, we pride ourselves on listening to our team, which is why we’ve been nominated for Best Employer (in the “Underwater, Shady Experimentation” category) for 10 consecutive years. Your input has been instrumental in refining our operations—after all, [b]a successful mission is built on collaboration[/b]. [h2]Fully Customizable Servers[/h2] [b]Infinite possibilities await beneath the waves[/b]. We’re thrilled to announce [i][b]fully customizable server options[/b][/i] for those who demand complete control over their dives. Tailor your Murky Divers experience to your exact preferences—from a lighter, more relaxed approach to the most extreme, hardcore challenges the ocean has to offer. By default, settings are locked on Normal, letting you jump straight into the action by simply clicking "Confirm," just like before. But for those seeking something truly unique, the ocean is yours to command. Dive your way. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45038801/649773ddfecc8022c479f4076a829bd19ef78116.png[/img] Just want to hop in and play? We’ve got you covered with [b]three handy presets—Easy, Normal, and Hard.[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45038801/e010cf4da57feb85a78c76b58d58bd677ccee0ff.png[/img] Each preset includes a brief description of what to expect, making it easy to find the right challenge level. If you want something more tailored, you can either start with a preset and tweak the settings or dive straight into Custom mode. The choice is yours! [h2]Improved Hosting[/h2] We’ve made significant upgrades to enhance the flow and clarity of the host menus, ensuring a smoother experience for divers setting up their adventures. Let’s dive into what’s new: Hosting a game is now streamlined into clear, intuitive steps: [olist] [*] Choose your save file and set your game to public or private. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45038801/eaca34f37fbf74952be616a9c3486d267d78a606.png[/img] [*] If starting a new save, select your submarine size.

Hidden within a biome reminiscent of the original wrecks lies the [b][i]Diver Creation Facility[/i][/b], the birthplace of Pharma Corps’ elite divers. This once-vital site fell to ruin due to the company’s insatiable [strike]greed[/strike] ambition, imprisoning Atlantis’ aliens as mere decorations in executive aquariums. The aliens eventually broke free, unleashing chaos as they took control of the divers in production, slaughtered the staff, and transformed into the sinister [i]copycat creatures[/i] now lurking in the shadows. Pharma Corps anticipated that some secrets might prove too dangerous to contain. To safeguard the integrity of its operations, [b]a self-destruct mechanism[/b] was installed within the Diver Creation Facility—a last-resort measure to erase all evidence should the unimaginable occur. Some say this is [i]Pharma Corps' [b]scariest[/b] biome so far.[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45038801/db2723c313280bacd4412fd4424cb5fac4b7a5d1.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45038801/b7dc65b88d615556f0081ee795b09eeebd968169.png[/img] [h2]New Creature: The Copy Cat[/h2] Introducing [i]a new threat lurking in the depths[/i]—something that mirrors you, yet isn’t quite right. At first glance, it seems like just another diver, but appearances can be deceiving. This creature has a way of blending in, mimicking players with unsettling precision. It moves like you, acts like you, and even sounds like you. But [b]something is off[/b]. What happens when you get too close? Stay alert, trust nothing, and remember: [b]not everything in the deep is what it seems[/b]. [i]Disclaimer: Do not be alarmed when you hear your voice. This was made possible with a custom tool that detects and records player voices and replicates them using an AI-generated voice. No data is stored beyond game sessions. All data is deleted when leaving the game.[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45038801/1066a561333ed235dff09584dcc24c1068406163.png[/img] [h2]New Creature: The Baby Puker[/h2] There’s a strange creature that only appears in the tunnels—[b]seemingly harmless at first, almost... cute[/b]. But don’t be fooled. Get too close, and you’ll find out just how dangerous it can be. Just be careful where you step, [i]especially when you're with friends[/i]. The tunnels have a way of hiding their true threats.
