Attention Recruits,

Today marks an extraordinary day for Pharma Corps. Roughly six months ago, we unveiled Murky Divers to the world—a call for brave divers.

After a few... let's call them unsuccessful experiments, 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. Welcome to the 1.0.


Diving in for the first time? Check out our Launch Trailer below!


Murky Divers has received a wealth of feedback and suggestions during Early Access, 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, a successful mission is built on collaboration.

Infinite possibilities await beneath the waves. We’re thrilled to announce fully customizable server options 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.

Just want to hop in and play? We’ve got you covered with three handy presets—Easy, Normal, and Hard.

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!


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:

1. Choose your save file and set your game to public or private.
   
   
2. If starting a new save, select your submarine size.
   
   
3. Customize your server settings—or jump right in!
   
   

Pharma Corps’ darkest secret brings Murky Divers back to its essence: the eerie wreckage and haunting depths that started it all. Hidden within a biome reminiscent of the original wrecks lies the Diver Creation Facility, the birthplace of Pharma Corps’ elite divers.

This once-vital site fell to ruin due to the company’s insatiable greed 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 copycat creatures now lurking in the shadows.

Pharma Corps anticipated that some secrets might prove too dangerous to contain. To safeguard the integrity of its operations, a self-destruct mechanism was installed within the Diver Creation Facility—a last-resort measure to erase all evidence should the unimaginable occur.

Some say this is Pharma Corps' scariest biome so far.


Introducing a new threat lurking in the depths—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 something is off. What happens when you get too close?

Stay alert, trust nothing, and remember: not everything in the deep is what it seems.

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.


There’s a strange creature that only appears in the tunnels—seemingly harmless at first, almost... cute. 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, especially when you're with friends. The tunnels have a way of hiding their true threats.


At Pharma Corps, we believe in empowering our divers to choose their own style and approach to every mission.

• Diver Scientist: Step into the role of a Pharma Corps elite with this sleek suit, complete with a custom emote. Perfect for those who want to embody the corporate spirit while exploring the depths on behalf of the company.
  
• Cleaner: As part of our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, the Cleaner suit is built for those tasked with keeping the ocean free of debris. Whether you're collecting waste or maintaining order, this suit ensures you're always prepared for the job.
  
• Pharma Claus: In the spirit of seasonal generosity (and corporate goodwill), the Santa Claus suit is available for a limited time. Perfect for bringing some holiday cheer to your underwater missions, this suit ensures you’re always ready to spread Pharma Corps-approved festive spirit.

This Christmas, Pharma Corps is bringing some holiday cheer to the depths! Submarines will be decked out in festive decorations, complete with sparkling lights, tinsel, and snowflakes drifting through the air. The atmosphere will be filled with the warmth and wonder of the season, even as you explore the cold, dark ocean.

We've added Murky Divers' most requested feature: the FOV slider: Divers are now able to tweak their field of view reducing potential motion sickness.

Pharma Corps is continually refining Murky Divers to enhance your experience. Here’s what’s new in the latest update:

• Black-out Effect: A new black-out effect has been added when you reach 0 oxygen, amplifying the tension and the thrill of managing your resources underwater.
  
• QR Code for Discord: Stay connected with the Murky Divers community! We’ve added a QR code in the game's main menu and in all submarines that lets you easily join our Discord and stay up-to-date on the latest news, updates, and discussions.
  
• Outfit Rarities: Outfits are now presented with rarities in the washing machine (Common, Rare, Legendary), making it easier to track your collection and show off your most prized pieces.
  
• Progress is now saved when leaving the game
  
• Ukrainian is now supported

Our intelligence department is aware of the extreme desire for mod support. We can officially confirm that mod support will be available in the next update. We want to deliver the best possible mod support for Murky Divers. For that, we need experienced modders. Which leads us to...

Pharma Corps is calling for all creative/technical masterminds with modding experience who want to receive exclusive early access to join the Discord!

Once again, Pharma Corps would like to thank all of its brave divers for their continued commitment. The tides will always shift, but the mission of Pharma Corps remains steadfast. Let's get to work!

All the best,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention Recruits,

The time has finally come. Pharma Corps is pleased to announce that after 6 months of Early Access, Murky Divers will be launching into its 1.0 version.

We’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes, and this massive update is just the beginning of what is to come. Our operations have grown, our strategies have evolved, and we’re ready to push things even further.

Since the initial launch in June, we’ve made impressive strides. Here’s a glimpse at what we’ve achieved together so far:

• 1.08 million expeditions completed
  
• 1.16 million lives lost
  
• 106,000 encounters with law enforcement

Top causes of death during expeditions:

1. No Oxygen
   
2. Abomination
   
3. Assassin

All the details and the exciting new developments are coming your way next week with the official 1.0 release. Stay sharp, divers—this is just the beginning. See you out there.

It's hard to believe that it's already been 6 months since the release of Murky Divers.

During this period:

• We've gathered over 350.000 loyal divers
  
• Released 2 major updates
  
• Released 4 content updates
  
• 335,650 sessions were started
  
• 1.15M divers were killed decided to seek other careers
  
• Improved our review rating to "Overwhelmingly Positive"

This is a significant milestone, but more importantly, we couldn't have done it without you—our divers worldwide. Thank you all for your incredible support! We can't wait to share what's next for Murky Divers!

Steam has just launched its annual vote for games on the platform, with one of the categories being "Better With Friends".

Your vote would make Pharma Corps an incredibly proud employer.

All the best,
Pharma Corps Management

Hi recruits,

Pharma Corps listened to your feedback (we have eyes and ears everywhere),

That is why we are bringing a patch today to improve the balancing of the game and fix the outfit progress bug.

Divers now get more money as batteries are free, that said we heard that Bribe is too expensive. Even though inflation kicked in, we will do our best to lower the price of the Bribe which suffered a lot.

New prices will be :

• Small submarine for up to 2 divers: 1200 -> 600
  
• Regular submarine for up to 4 divers: 1400 -> 750
  
• Large submarine for up to 8 divers: 1600 -> 900

Endless chasing from this monstruosity can be tiring, sometimes at the cost of a few lives even. We are lowering its movement speed. This way it should stay dangerous in close quarters but easier to flee from.

We noticed that progress for the new outfits wasn't always saving for players. It will now register properly and we added a save to your progress when you exit the game. Previously this was only at the end of an expedition.

We are aware that Major Update 0.9 introduced some significant changes to Murky Divers. Even though we test everything internally thoroughly, we attach great value to you feedback! Pharma Corps Human Resource Department welcomes constructive feedback to improve the diving experience. Know that our intelligence department reads every review and forum post.

Happy diving!

Sincerely,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention Recruits,

Welcome to the final chapter of our three-part update series. Introducing the Halloween major update. This chapter packs a punch.

But first of all, Pharma Corps would like to extend its gratitude to the more than 280,000 divers! Your commitment and bravery have been essential in our mission, but there’s still plenty of evidence lurking in the depths that needs to be removed. We are excited to welcome new recruits as we continue to expand our ranks and tackle these challenges together. Thank you for being an integral part of the Pharma Corps family!

Pharma Corps has given your submarines a seasonal upgrade. We've decorated your working environment for Halloween—expect ghost sightings, lots of skulls, pumpkins, and candles, and more unsettling surprises around every corner. Enjoy the festive atmosphere, but remember, the dangers lurking in the deep haven’t taken a holiday.

Pharma Corps is reopening access to a long-lost site—Atlantis, the Forgotten City. We discovered the ruins of this ancient civilization years ago and, seeing its potential, set up experimental labs throughout its submerged halls and temples. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and our operations went dark after… *unforeseen complications.* Now, Atlantis lies in decay, its once-grand structures overtaken by the ocean, with traces of our failed experiments haunting its waters. Tread carefully, recruits—Atlantis is packed with traps and holds secrets and dangers that even we couldn’t contain.

Gone are the days of maximum depth limits—now, you can plunge infinitely into the abyss. The way depth works has been completely redesigned. Divers will now use a touch screen displaying a vertical depth meter and a next zone choice.

The depth meter is where you can track your submarine’s current depth and check how close the Police Squadron is. The threat level is indicated by three danger levels: green (you're far enough), orange (Police are getting closer), and red (Police are nearly on you—BIG danger). Upgrading the station to go deeper will help you put some distance between you and the pursuing squadron!

The Next Zone Choice system is meant to push your diving strategy even further. Each biome is now split into levels from 1 to 5, with higher levels bringing tougher challenges, more dangerous terrain, and deadlier creatures. You’ll see your current zone and the amount of energy needed to go deeper. Fill the energy bar using batteries found during expeditions or at the Black Market, and you’ll get to choose between two zones for your next dive. Once you make your choice, the submarine descends, and a new energy bar appears, demanding more power for each deeper step.

Major Update 2 introduces significant changes to how stations work. Previously, you could purchase CDs from the vending machine to upgrade your stations and increase maximum dive depth. This system has been completely reworked: CDs have been replaced by batteries, which can be found during expeditions. As such, think wisely about what to search for! These batteries store energy that is used to power receivers (replacing the old PS5s). When a receiver is fully charged, you unlock the corresponding upgrade or gain access to the next depth level.

This new system presents divers with a crucial choice—invest in ship upgrades to make your expeditions safer and easier, or venture deeper for greater rewards and to "outdive" the Police closing in.

The legend of Atlantis speaks of an ancient creature—In the depths of Atlantis, a creature known as the Selfish Sun wanders, drawn to lights. It gathers brilliance into its hidden trove, casting shadows in its wake. Disturb its treasures, and you may awaken a blinding fury. Tread carefully: will you embrace the darkness or dare to reclaim the lost glow?

Pharma Corps' intelligence services have identified a new gadget in the Police’s arsenal—The Police Drone. This high-tech surveillance device is designed to monitor and track divers. Once you reach 2 or more stars, these drones will become active, scanning the area for any signs of trouble. If they spot you, they will attempt to escape and alert the authorities, escalating the situation.

Pharma Corps is excited to unveil five new diving suits—three Halloween-themed and two Atlantis-inspired designs. We know that style matters, even in the darkest depths, and we’re committed to giving divers more ways to express themselves. Dress to impress, no matter the mission!

We have implemented a new animated sequence where the Police bust in and arrest your team during a mission gone wrong. The scene then shifts to a mugshot lineup showing your whole crew in random poses, with your game stats clearly displayed. So, put on your best smile for the camera!—and remember, Pharma Corps will not be paying any bail so you better not get caught...

Pharma Corps' R&D team is excited to unveil our latest innovations! We’ve introduced two new modules: the Shell, boosting your health points to 200, and the CaptainMic, which allows communication with everyone, regardless of distance, and recharges automatically.

• Speaking indicator: now each skin has an element that lights up on the face when you are speaking to make it clearer for everyone
  
• Reworked Sound Attenuation system: walls now obstruct sound better
  
• Dead divers can hear each other better
  
• EMP voice effect volume is now lower

• Some body parts are now still alive and move a bit (no change in gameplay)
  
• Collision in navigation now empties the net depending on damage
  
• Submarine net capacity depends on the submarine size (2: 2/4 slots, 4: 3/6, 8: 4/8)

If you’re still here, congratulations! Your dedication as a diver has not gone unnoticed by Pharma Corps. We appreciate your commitment to our mission. Remember, this second major update is packed with thrilling new features, and time is of the essence! So, gear up and dive into the depths—there’s no time to waste. Thank you for being an integral part of the Pharma Corps family!

All the best,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention Recruits,

We are presenting you the second part of our three-part update series. STAY TUNED for the final MAJOR chapter of our Halloween series coming October 28!

This chapter brings, among other additions, one of the most requested features of Murky Divers.

Pharma Corps noticed that some of you heavily requested the option to play with a vast amount of people. As they say, strength comes in numbers, and the fewer people we must report missing taking a break, the happier our HR department will be. Therefore, we're introducing a new type of larger submarine suited to host up to 8 divers at the same time. Murky Divers now supports each player's preference:

• 1-2 people / Small submarine
  
• 3-4 people / Medium submarine
  
• 5-8 people / Large submarine

A couple of weeks ago, Pharma Corps introduced a new location The Black Market which was very well received. Believe it or not, our scouting team just picked up a new location on the sonar and received a cryptic message "A familiar signal pulses beneath the waves, but not all paths lead where you expect. In the silent deep, something watches—dare to approach, and you may return unchanged... or marked in ways unseen."

New creatures keep appearing during expeditions. This time one of Pharma Corps' most innovative experiments broke free was released: The Crocsaw - part crocodile, part chainsaw.

• Resolved vent collision issues
  
• Fixed a bug where players would respawn in unintended locations
  
• Corrected floating buttons that appeared during procedural generation
  
• Enemies can no longer attack through walls
  
• Fixed incorrect noise display in the 1-2 player submarine
  
• Spawn rate of dangerous Police entities in navigation is lower
  
• The submarine net now keeps its content after visiting the Black Market
  
• Fixed the disappearance of memes on sticky notes in submarines
  
• Fixed a bug that could softlock players in the shower in 1-2 player submarines
  
• Fixed player name sometimes not displaying correctly
  
• Fixed a crash caused by mines
  
• Fixed several bugs related to HUD, pop-ups, and menus

STAY TUNED for the final MAJOR chapter of our Halloween series coming October 28!

All the best,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention Recruits,

The spooky season is upon us. With Halloween just around the corner, we are presenting you the first of a three-part update series. Chapter One brings some heavily requested additions to Murky Divers.

Pharma Corps noticed that some of you prefer the solitude of the ocean or the strength of a dynamic duo dive. Therefore, we're introducing a new type of smaller submarine suited to your dive-style preferences.

Our intelligence department witnessed some recruits struggling with the basic mechanics of operating the submarine and navigating to expedition sites. To solve this, we've improved our onboarding to enhance the ease of understanding the core loop:

• Redesign of stations and information displays for the sonar, narrow-band, net, collision display, lever, propulsor, torpedo launcher
  
• In-game tutorials with hints and conditional states to help guide players
  
• Overhaul of the submarine interior design
  
• Removed unnecessary information

Last but not least, we added a new creature to the depths of Murky Divers: The Murderer.

As announced in the previous update, the decision was made to set the price to $7.99 (regional pricing for different countries). Murky Divers has evolved significantly since its release: a new biome, more creatures, diving suits, locations such as the Black Market, new items and modules, and much more still to come. We even added an underwater scooter! In summary, Murky Divers has seen significant additions and improvements since its launch!

It all started out with our first major update bringing a ton of new things:

• New biome: caves
  
• New items: scooter, agent NUTS, bait
  
• New stations: torpedo, laundry
  
• Introducing swimming suits
  
• Controller support
  
• Lots of smaller additions/improvements

Next up, we created this summarized roadmap of what followed after the first major update:

Update 0.7 is the first in a series of 3 updates leading to our Halloween special. Pharma Corps attaches a lot of importance to its seasonal events. Make sure to stay tuned for the festivities!

All the best,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention Recruits,


Introducing The Trader, a mysterious figure operating the Black Market from a Sea Giant's belly. The Trader holds the key to a range of valuable items—if you can earn its favor.

But heed this warning: the stakes are high. Disturb the Trader's peace, and you’ll face consequences that even Pharma Corps can’t fix. Gift wisely, and you might find yourself equipped with the tools you need for your next mission.

• New destination: Black Market. Reachable during navigation. Ducks are crucial.
  
• New suit Nier Duckomata, buyable at the Black Market
  
• Added a mirror inside the sub to check your best outfits

• Sound and microphone now still work when the game isn't in focus
  
• Display name tags (togglable in settings)
  
• Display object of collision when navigating
  
• Added a fire button on the torpedo station
  
• Better vision when carrying bulky items
  
• Performance improvements

We would like to thank all of our loyal crew members for their continued support. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Our goals with Murky Divers are far from complete but the game has evolved significantly over these past months with a large amount of new content (new biome, new monsters, diving suits, and many more). The decision was made to increase the base price from $5.99 to $7.99 on the 26th of September which brings us on par with the games in our niche. As such, make sure to grab your copy now!

Pharma Corps has wild plans for its employees. More info coming (very) soon!

All the best,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention, Recruits,


It has come to our attention that a virus is spreading among our divers. This virus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through sneezing, vomiting, etc. in the vicinity of healthy recruits.
