Evaluation
The developer, JaKovche_, posted a formal end-of-development announcement on March 18, 2021, explicitly stating: "I'm going to stop Deep's development and move on." This post details exactly what will stop working (new features, updates, patches, bug fixes, and official content) and what will continue (core gameplay, Steam Workshop, leaderboards). The developer shut down the game's servers on April 1, 2021. All DLC released prior to this announcement — the Cosmetics Expansion Pack (March 21, 2020) and The Darkest Cave (February 11, 2021) — had already shipped. No further content has been announced or released since the closure statement. Deep the Game is a finished, complete product with no ongoing development.

About this game
Welcome to the Deep: Pixelart platformer indie game located deep inside caves. Your main goals are to survive and find the exit.
You are a cave explorer who accidentally falls in a pit which leads to a big cave system. After some exploration, you find remains of an old civilization that used to live there, but they are long extinct, but the cave is still populated with Bats, Slimes, and other kinds of creatures.
Explore the cave and find secret rooms, chests, coins, and more treasure that is hidden deep into the cave.
Find your way out of the cave while wall jumping, climbing, sliding, or swimming.
While exploring the cave, you encounter some weird creatures. The slimes, bats, and the Patrol Monster are the enemies you must avoid to get safely outside!
After hours of climbing, jumping, and swimming you find the exit and return to your home.
