Patch Update – New Difficulty Modes & Balance Tweaks

This update introduces a major new way to play, along with a few balance and localization improvements.

⚙️ New Difficulty Modes

You can now choose how hard the sea pushes back:

  • Easy – A more forgiving experience, ideal for new players

  • Medium – The intended Dreadline experience

  • Hard – Harsher conditions, More aggressive Monsters, and increased pressure

Difficulty affects multiple gameplay systems and is selectable when starting a new run.


🌍 Localization Improvements

  • Additional localization-related fixes and corrections across the UI


🐙 Balance Adjustments

  • Adjusted Fish Stealer spawn rates to reduce over-aggressive encounters


As always, thank you for playing and for the continued feedback - see you out on the water 🌊
