Salvor DEEP

really love the idea and got it to run once but now any time i try to run it its just a brief flash of the start screen then black and it says its not responding even reset entire pc but nada.

If you ever do decide to make a successor to this project I think it be pretty neat if there was randomized runs and danger like other titles like REPO or Lethal Company. The dangers could come from the environment, monsters or even optional npc teammates that have buffs or debuffs, guiding and building up your Salvor type character to success while maintaining a relationship with them similar to some gacha games. Perhaps there could also be an aspect of avoidable ntr that requires skill to navigate in this dangerous world :o 

Wishing you the best of luck to your new game Ploy Co!

How to save

I've been following this game basically since the demo, but have been waiting for a "final" version before diving in. I know nothing is ever fully done but I got a bit confused by V1.0 being titled as "unstable" and then all the subsequent patches being titled as devlogs or mods. I also see that some of those patches are Windows-only, at least on Itch (I'm a Mac user).

Are there plans for a V1.1 or some kind of definitive post-launch patch to really put the game in a "finished" state, with parity across OS platforms?

Or am I just misunderstanding things and it's basically read to play now?

I wanted to try this game on Steam because I see a lot of potential in it and I really liked it ^^ but I would like to ask if it would be possible to play it in Spanish since it is a bit difficult for me to know what is happening in the language =w="

how do i get me steam key i cant find it

What is Sunken Veil

Hiya, I just finished playing the game and I kinda wanted to review it for feedback's sake- this game has piqued my interest for multiple reasons, enough so that I want to talk about this honestly pretty good game, just because I don't see a lot of actual reviews here or on Steam that aren't just "this is a glorified artbook," which I think is unfair to the game.

The idea for the game is a simple but good one. You're to guide a hopeless girl through the depths of underwater ruins, trying to get yourself and her enough money to live through salvaging treasure. The gameplay is a rather simple loop of going to one of the many ruin locations you can explore, getting treasure, and leaving, hopefully with enough resources for you both to live off of. It's pretty simple, but it works well and it can be pretty fun to try and find how to maximize your profits while still making sure the girl has some security in case you can't get her enough food. In short, the core gameplay is actually pretty fun and would, admittedly, work better in a horror environment rather than an h-game, but for what it is it's still a fun experience.

One of the other things I like about the game is the art. Yes, it's an h-game, so art is fairly important given you're going to be seeing a lot of T&A, and I think the pixel art monochrome style works really well in this horror adjacent environment. The two girls in it are both pretty cute in their own ways, all the scenes are interesting to discover, and I think the more simple graphics of the diving segments is done well. The only thing about the art that can be a little jarring is the inconsistency of it. 

I'm not going to be super critical on this as I'm an artist myself and I know how much it can suck to get criticism for something you're really proud of, but it was a decently big elephant throughout my own playthrough. Some shots were a little illogical, proportions were often between slightly and majorly off, and one of the weirder things is that with some of the expansion aspects, it implies some scenes would have had the girl have different "levels" than what is shown in the CG. For example, the first time I got the hard mushrooms that "need to be warmed" or something like that, the girl interacted with her standard assets, yet the CG depicted her flat as a board. This might be more in line with one of the bigger issues I had with the game on the technical end, but given otherwise the game is fairly consistent about this part of things so it's not too glaring a flaw. I do really like the art style, but my best descriptor of it is that it feels somewhat amateur and could definitely become much better with some more practice.

Another thing I actually found myself enjoying a lot was the world itself. You get some pieces here and there about how the job you're doing works and what it's like being a salvager team, but it also always feels like there's something unknown about it. The MC knows quite a bit about things that go on, but not everything- so when you're reaching deeper levels underwater you get this feeling that you're entering truly uncharted territory when even the player goes "I don't really know." The wreckages and caves themselves all have their own story to them that you can glean just from the surroundings, and once again the deeper you go the more you learn. Even though you never actually explore it, the idea of "the other side" is also extremely cool and I wish it was an actual explorable place rather than just the hard limit. The game was interesting enough with just the concept of all these wreckages and caverns underwater, but the idea that there's something beyond under the water- what could be there? It's like going into the hadal zone, but suddenly there's something beyond that. That idea in and of itself has a lot of potential, and especially with the somewhat implied idea that the creature in the final dive came from the other side, you just can't help but wonder about it. Weirdly enough, I wasn't expecting something mysterious like that in this game, so I'm super grateful there's something about the world that's only left for the mind to imagine. 

Outside of that, I liked the three majorly present characters. The MC has a somewhat distinct personality unlike most games like this, the girl (the titular "salvor") is quite endearing and she herself has some backstory that is lightly touched on but partially left to the mind, and Tish also has some hints as to what her deal is but is also fun to interact with (when you even can, which is unfortunately rare as I'd love to hate on her more). I personally didn't get both endings as I feel like the game's a little too monotonous to play through it again just for the Tish ending, so take that part with a grain of salt. 

My praises out of the way, I'm gonna rip the band aid off and give my biggest criticisms. The game is paced strangely, and from the technical end it's got some rather large issues. It's built in such a way that I constantly felt like I might've sequence broke the game on accident. For example, in the game, if the girl has over 8 food when a dive ends, instead of consuming 4 food just for that dive, she'll consume another 4 to skip a day and practice diving, which makes the various diving locations throughout wreckages more likely to come up with treasure. Nothing's necessarily wrong with this mechanic since skipping a day doesn't really mean anything to the player and because of the food requirement to even activate this the girl won't waste any money either, but the part that's somewhat strange is that this can happen from day 1 should you somehow, miraculously, get enough food on your first dive to trigger this. The only indication this would happen and why it would happen though, at least in my playthrough, was given to me around 100k depth, which is really late and is through a specific date you go on with the girl that then has you go talk to Tish about it- so I thought something seemed wrong when I'd been getting this diving capability increase even though, according to the story, that deal was never struck until that point. That kind of goes into another point I noticed, though. 

It felt like I was able to take the girl out on a date once or twice at the beginning, and then it wasn't until toward my last 10 days that I could date her again at all, but suddenly I was able to take her out just about every day after that point? It's not at all clear what even allows you to take her out in the first place, but it certainly wasn't money as once I hit 20 dollars the first time I never dipped below that again, and there certainly didn't seem to be a dive requirement- so I have no clue what happened there. Regardless, this makes the entire front portion of this game a little dull since it feels like you're not progressing all that much toward anything in particular.

To add onto that, I kept encountering some really strange bugs that felt kind of like I did something wrong. Sometimes NPCs would not move even though they were supposed to, which meant they'd never actually interact with the girl and you'd miss whatever interaction was meant to happen (which was usually a gangbang, and I'm not really into NTR, but I did turn those scenes on just to get as full an experience as possible and they still would break), and the only way I found to fix it was to re-open the game. This was fine when it came to followers clearing debris as just having the followers counts rather than them being nearby, but for getting as many CGs as I could, this proved to cause the monster in the final dive to do literally nothing. A similar bug would happen with the dates, where occasionally I would reload the game just to make sure the game was working, and suddenly on a re-open I was able to go on a date with her. It was a little exhausting opening and closing the game so much just because of the NPC bug, so seeing this made me feel even more like I'd broken things way too much and might have needed to reset my data, which I was tempted to do several times.

There are a lot more minor gripes I have that more have to do with creative choice rather than the technical end, like the existence of futanari in the depths (who were extremely obnoxious to deal with since they don't stop pursuing you aside from the about 20 seconds you get when they stop after catching you) that are ill explained and those pheromone clouds that if you aren't spamming click you will be stuck in for a literal minute trying to get to the next area because the girl can't calm herself the hell down. My standards for continuity in h-games are low and my standards for gameplay are even lower, don't get me wrong, but when everything else felt like it had some meaning to it I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when something like that had no explanation. There was also the whole cursed clothing thing that suddenly was being talked about that I feel like there was even less explanation for, but they kind of joked in the game about that not going anywhere so I don't know if I just missed something or if that feeling was intended. I also was not a fan of the gallery menu even if I did like the art, as it was very confusing to search through. I'd personally suggest a system where each unique scene you can select you could use a different button to switch between bigger tits/ass, smaller, etc. just so it's not one big scroll list where it's kind of hard to tell what's what. It would also make it easier to tell what the ACTUALLY unique CGs you got were and could potentially tell you if a certain size is even attainable for that CG.

All in all, very underrated! I had a pretty fun time exploring wreckages and trying to get money while also trying to figure out what order you had to do things in to get into specific areas. Some of the mechanics I did like was using the expansion/downsizing aspects as an actual way to get through specific areas which would either lead you to a new CG or a chunk of treasure. Or both, in the follower crushing case. I feel like they're underutilized, sure, but it's used enough to where I'm not entirely dissatisfied with it as a mechanic and pushes this into puzzle game territory. I, admittedly, like the girl a lot and got pretty attached to her as well, so curses to the developer for making me get attached to a character from an h-game. 

I'll admit, I'm kind of excited to see what you make in the future! Thanks for reading if you did! I just had a lot of thoughts and I felt it unfair to not verbalize them where the developer could see.

It looks like my save got deleted while i updated my windows, is there anything i can do to get my save back?

honestly this has the finest game mechanic. i tried a demo and loved it, so bought it. am immensely impressed and at same time disappointed i cannot find anything else like it. this is why i do not buy books until an author has finished the series, that disappointment at the lack of the next part. i am hoping you will continue this lovely series but i know it will stand on its own merits as a masterpiece regardless.

how do I get Tish to send the salvor to the auction? I’ve tried all manner of combos but can’t seem to get the event to trigger

What are the prerequisites?

For the linux users to play: Runs perfectly with 'umu-launcher'.

1. Get umu-launcher (and let it download ProtonUMU) 

2. Do in terminal `umu-run SALVOR\ DEEP` (better to let it auto complete the .exe file's name.)

Yes, you download windows version and this tutorial is almost-universal.

Decided to mention it if some linux-newbie might need it and was struggling with wine-tricks.

Also Delusria I guess you can mention in downloads "For linux just use umu-launcher on .exe" to have it available on platforms. 

Please take care of yourself reader, yes?

I see tentacles and cumflation where would I find those scenes. All I've found so far are the expansion shrooms

is there any hyper expansion?

(like mega huge boobies)

Is there any horror in this game?

Henloo! What fetishes does this game contain if I may ask? Does it contain weight gain?

Loving this game! One question - what's the deal with the black monsters near the starting point of every level? Can we eat them? Sit on them?

Game is dope as fuck. I did lock myself by encumbering and being too stupid to figure out how to drop anything if that’s an option lol.

but basically played it non stop since discovering it.

hello, thanks for the game. i realy liked the way the game is played. 

as i understand it from other comments the game in itself is complete but just in case you should decide to work a little on it again i would like to leave a few suggestions. 

1. it would be a nice qol feature to have a little text in one of the corners of the hud that says how many radar pings the salvager discovered in a cave or wreck. the small ones are no issue but in the larger caves i ended up walking in circles a couple of times just to make sure i did found everything. since dispatch uses a radar to navigate the salvager 

2. in some of the later wrecks/caves there seems to be no real reason for the salvager to be there (besides the gallery pictures) since they did not had any valuables or equipment to pick up in it. a small text at the start of the dive like a scientist wants a specimen of local fauna/flora, a rumor about treasure or a supposed distress call, could help there in my opinion. 

3. an option to pick up a specific mushroom for usage in the next dive would be nice(but it spoils when it is not used in the next dive after it is picked up). as example: in the first wreck is a passage we cant get through (because its the tutorial zone) with a flatshroom from a later dive you could get in a small room with some valuables or something like that. or you could revisit the lonly diver in the lost mansion with an baloonshroom again for some extra fun in the pool. 

4. sadly there was no scene where the salvager harvests the hardshroom with extra warmth for its maximum amount of liquid that gets discribed by dispatch. there is also potential for a futa effect from the hardshroom. maybe a new scence in one of the deeper caves? 

5. this could be a bug or i missed something, but the "large monster" at the end of the last cave doesnt seem to do anything. i tried all combinations of the bugs and the baloonshroom in that cave and couldnt get a reaction out of it. 

6. since we can see the room of dispatch between dives it would be cool if we could find some hidden stuff in a dive that gets displayed there. just like the hidden valuables the salvager sometimes find. a small message like "oh found a cool rock im gonna keep that" and later when she moves in you see it and its shaped like a cock. or the fish she pickes up in a small fishglass. idk some just for fun stuff.

7. the running shoes doesnt seem to do anything when i tried them it looks like you just run at the same speed as if you would wear the backpack that gives a flat +15% to speed

....anyways thats just my 10 cents 

keep up the good work. 

i thank i missed like a one time event do i reset how do i fix this also i would love more updates grate game

Hello, very cool game and scenes too, but i do not want to search every corner for 1 extra scene so this idea of a guide, video or text, does not matter, will make my life and time gathering these delightful scenes much easier.

I would gathered them myself but it is a little bit hard for me, this is why i ask of this guide.

I really like this game, but I have a few questions:

    1. Will the game continue to receive updates in the future?

    2. I really like the animated display of the heroine on the right side (the dynamic H-style illustration that shows her current state). Will a nude version of that animation be added later?

    3. Will that animated display on the right get more content? For example, will some of the heroine's events be shown with that kind of dynamic animation?

    4. The game description says we can help her avoid harm from others, but in the game we’re forced to work with other men to remove obstacles—why is that?

About optimization:

    1. In the gallery, can you mark which scenes are NTR? (To me, NTR means the heroine is violated by a human male. I’m fine with plants, as long as it’s not done in a disgusting humanoid way.)

Fun game you made and the Salvor is super cute!
Is there any chance we can get cleavage storage of some kind?

marvelous game, 7/7 stars, might radio my 221 friends later about it

This is probably the best H game on the site. I hope you keep doing work like this!

99% sure the "updated version here" post is a virus. just disassembled it and it's looking very sus. 

It seems like the stereo audio for footsteps is reversed. Left direction in right ear, etc.

Love this game, will an apk ever happen?

Hallo!! I'd like to ask—do you still update the game? If yes, perhaps could you consider a version that’s very NTR-friendly? Like, one where there are no guys in the game at all? I know you can disable the NTR scenes, and I appreciate that option, but honestly—even if it’s hidden, just knowing it’s there kind of ruins the immersion for me. It still messes with the emotional experience, you know?

I’m not trying to demand anything big, just hoping for a version where I can enjoy the characters and story without that lingering anxiety in the background. The art and gameplay are great otherwise, and it’s clear a lot of love went into the game—so it’s extra painful when something I really don’t vibe with takes me out of it. Thanks for reading, and sorry if I come off too emotional about it!

how do i change the size of the ui? It's so tiny I cant read anything T.T

Hello, I bought your game and I found the lore very interesting. I confess that I paid a lot of attention to the submerged capsule system. I also found the hentai very good. I wish there was a system to read and reread the game's lore texts, I would find it very interesting. The female protagonist seems to already live with this type of situation where sex is an advantageous gain for herself. I understood that it is a post-apocalyptic world, because this character is very concerned about food. I loved the fact that you included NTR

When i found that first salvor in the mansion, i thought they were going to start chasing you after exploring a little more.

Turns out he just follows and does a scenes but no hunt or anything like that... amazing game though! Its my favorite one.

love this game bought it on steam.
was there any chance of it coming to ios? feels like the perfect game for that.
if it did go to ios i know id buy it again

Unique and fun game. Just a couple questions:

1.) I got captured by all the pirate with $300+ on me and didn't trigger a new ending? Do I need to have not enough equipment, kite all the pirates into a room, etc.?

2.) They mention needing $1000 to get to the capital... Is the idea the dialogue and game ends then? If so what's the best cave to get money fast?

Note: There seems to be some duplicated event images.

Hi, amazing Game with a nice touch. One Question. I cant get to find the last Scene in the Collapsed Tanker. Are ther any Tipps in the Game?

Thank you so much for your game, I really liked the idea of mushrooms and a lifeguard setting. I hope you still have plans to improve the game and this is not the final version. I bought it on steam and decided to come here to write to you how much I liked your project, good luck to you and so that the muse would not leave you.

Should her side portrait be nude when she removes her swimsuit?
It's weird having the Echo Graph show her naked while the portrait doesn't.
