Gordon Moran of IronOak Games also seems to be happy that players will finally be getting their hands onInto the Deep:
““Into The Deepis a huge addition toFor The King. It’s something we’ve been extremely excited about. Everyone at the studio not-so secretly wants to be a pirate, but we wouldn’t last long out there in the ocean, so we instead created our ode to the classic stories we used to read as kids. We hope you all enjoy playing it as much as we did making it.”
