Debris Windows, Mac game

It’s here, it’s really here. Dive into an atmospheric story with a friend and survive together.

Co-op mode!

No longer at the mercy of an AI, Ryan can now partner with a friend on Steam and play Debris the way it was meant to be played. For the first time, experience Sonya’s perspective and see what she sees. Work with Ryan to reach the surface and find a whole new set of secrets buried in Sonya’s ALTA account along the way.

Note: Talking is important, so make sure you have a way to communicate via voice before playing!

Localization part one!

Sonyo, připlav sem! This update brings UI localization for French, Spanish, German, Korean, Czech and Hungarian. It also features full dialogue translation in Czech, with full translations for the above languages coming soon.

Balance changes

From watching players on Twitch, our own playtesting sessions and the closed co-op beta, we’ve made a bunch of balance changes to Debris. For example, we've adjusted the enemy difficulty curve in chapter 7 and altered the health of certain extra large creatures.

Fixes and optimizationsIn

addition to overhauling a lot of the visual effects in the game, we’ve done another optimization pass to increase performance on most computers. Debris has never looked or run better!

As always, a huge thanks to all of our beta testers and players all over the world. We’ve taken the appreciation and criticism to heart (being Mixed on Steam is not a fun place to be!), and hope you and a friend enjoy Debris 2.0!
