Stirring Abyss
Stirring Abyss Changelog v1.06.01
An update has crawled forth from the darkness... check out the details in the patch notes below:
General:
-The individual difficulty of an Endless mission is now indicated in its tooltip on the Map. Previously this was only indicated by the graphic of the mission node on the Map. (Note: The individual mission difficulty is independent from the overall difficulty of the game you select from the Menu before starting the game.)
-Improved the scaling of some sprites on high resolutions.
Balance:
-Missions on the first Map of a new Endless game can no longer spawn as the hardest individual difficulty. (Note: This change will not apply to Endless games started before this patch.)
-Enemy health has been adjusted to be lower on the first few Maps of a new Endless game. (Note: If you have an active Endless game from a previous patch, this change will take effect from your next mission onwards.)
-Salvage missions on the Endless mode have slightly longer timers on normal and hard difficulty missions. (Note: If you have an active Endless game from a previous patch, this change will take effect from your next mission onwards.)
Bugfixes:
-Fixed a bug where the Black Blood scourge would apply its full effect on enemy Ascendants, instead of a reduced effect like intended.
-Fixed a bug where the Black Blood scourge would not reset properly.
Major Update - Harvester Patch (update 1.06)
MEET THE HARVESTER
It approaches in silence, lurking in the twilight zone where the electric glow of their lamps is drowned out by the eternal darkness of the deep ocean. Pupils dilate, the hair on their arms stands on edge, a cold sweat forms. The Harvester is near, and the fields are ripe with frightened minds.
The Harvester is a creature of nightmare that feeds upon the Sanity of your crew and grows more dangerous the more it consumes. These otherworldly monstrosities stalk the deep trenches and ruins of the Abyss, ready to reap their unwilling harvest. Harvesters can be encountered in both Story and Endless mode, and will spawn in campaigns started before the patch as well.
NEW MAPS
For those players who have already thoroughly explored the Abyss, we are adding a couple of new maps for bonus missions - one new Seal Defense mission set on a rooftop plaza of ancient Akoratya, and one new Diver Rescue mission that sends you delving into the depths of the abyssal trench.

Stirring Abyss Reviews (81 Metascore):
A capable indie strategy title that does more with its Lovecraftian setting than most similar games of the past decade. - Gamewatcher
The tension between preparedness and speed that the mechanics created is something that more modern tactics focused titles should try to replicate. - Softpedia
I really dig the way it embraces the aesthetic of the subject matter. The audio is thick and ominous, and the pulpy art style is a good fit. - PC Gamer
