Attention recruits,

It’s hard to believe, but we’re coming up on one whole year of operations with more than ✨600k of you✨, and what a journey it’s been.

To commemorate, PharmaCorps has been quietly working behind the scenes for a Major Anniversary Update. While full access to classified details remains restricted, we are authorized to share the following intel:

• A previously uncharted Biome has been flagged for exploration
  
• Two new lifeforms have been identified and require field observation (please avoid petting)
  
• ███ ████: group of several creatures, at first sight harmless, to be confirmed
  
  • 🌛 Selfish Moon: sibling of the Selfish Sun found in Atlantis, our initial tests show far greater instability and █████████
    
  • New curse and trade agreements have been established
• 🛠️ Bugfixes and improvements will help your work

As always, your compliance, adaptability, and ability to scream underwater are greatly appreciated.

As of this quarter, our recruitment program has successfully onboarded over 600,000 Divers into active deployment. That’s over half a million individuals committed to pushing the boundaries of exploration, research, and mildly experimental procedures. Your dedication (fills us with gratitude) has been... statistically remarkable.

We’re excited to keep building the glory of PharmaCorps with you 🏆. We’ll be sharing more details soon. Until then, continue your assigned duties, report any unusual encounters, and remember:

PharmaCorps sees you. PharmaCorps thanks you. PharmaCorps care.

Attention recruits,

The wait is finally over... MOD SUPPORT IS HERE!

Pharma Corps' technical department has worked tirelessly over the past few weeks, pushing the limits of what’s possible. Just yesterday, they informed management that their latest advancements are finally complete. After rigorous testing (and an acceptable number of unforeseen incidents), we are now ready to deploy these new features into the field. Recruits, prepare yourselves. A new era of operations begins now.

Pharma Corps is eagerly awaiting the incredible, boundary-pushing creations you will develop. The sky is truly the limit—whether it's ingenious tools, unsettling new discoveries, or... unexpected anomalies. At Pharma Corps, we have always been strong advocates for creativity, and we take great pride in stimulating and supporting innovative minds like yours. After all, creativity is the cornerstone of society—without it, life would be unbearably dull. So go forth, experiment, and bring your wildest ideas to life. We can’t wait to see what you create… and how it might change everything.

PS: Modders can receive a special modder role on our Discord!

Recruits, it’s time to put your efficiency to the test. Introducing Challenge Mode—a high-stakes, high-reward operation where your mission is simple: grab as much money as possible before time runs out. Dive into a sprawling megacomplex, shred body parts to extend your timer, and push your crew to its limits. Only the most ruthless and resourceful will carve their names into the top 10 crews.

The expedition site is a fixed XXL-level, shifting weekly to keep things… interesting. And to help you navigate the chaos, we’re introducing spray paint—mark your path, leave warnings, or just express yourself in ways Pharma Corps will definitely not be held responsible for.

So—are you up for the challenge? Or will the megacomplex claim you like so many before?

Pharma Corps has officially reached 500,000 divers! That’s half a million brave souls venturing into the depths, pushing the limits, and ensuring our operations run as smoothly as possible. Your dedication does not go unnoticed (even if your predecessors sometimes do). But remember, there’s still plenty of work to be done, and the ocean isn’t getting any safer. So gear up, stay efficient, and let’s see what the next 500,000 can accomplish. Onward.

Rest assured, Pharma Corps is not yet done. Our internal development team is actively working on more content which shall become available to all divers around June. Aside from content, a surprise awaits around that period. More information will follow!

We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for being part of this journey. From the depths of the unknown to the cutting edge of innovation, your dedication has driven us forward. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or a fresh recruit, your efforts are what make this mission possible. So here’s to the challenges faced, the discoveries made, and the countless adventures still ahead. Thank you for being part of the Pharma Corps family!

Sincerely,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention recruits,

Our intelligence department has observed that some divers have been encountering issues. Rolling out significant updates is always a complex process, and while we pride ourselves on having a top-tier testing department, even the best teams can occasionally miss something.

Attention Recruits,

The holiday season may be behind us, but the celebrations are far from over! Christmas and New Year’s have come and gone, but now it’s time to embrace the festivities of the Spring Festival.

As an international company, Pharma Corps takes pride in celebrating local traditions from around the globe—because no matter where you dive, there’s always something to commemorate.

Here’s what you can expect:


Decorations
Just like our Halloween and Christmas events, there will be new interiors for all three submarines, now brimming with Spring Festival decor. The Spring Festival theme will be available for a limited time, and you'll be able to toggle it in custom games.

New Emote
The classic "Emote 2" has been replaced with a festive Chinese-themed emote.

Lion Dance
The Sea Monkey suit has been transformed into a stunning Dance Lion suit, bringing a traditional flair to your dives.

Themed Economy
Price tags on body parts now feature red envelope skins, and in-game currency shifts from dollars to yuan, embracing the holiday spirit.


The depths hold endless possibilities, and there’s so much more to explore. A new update is on the horizon, and it’s bringing some of the most requested features from our amazing community.

Mod Support
Get ready to take customization to the next level, modding will give you the tools to shape your Murky Divers experience.

Challenge Mode
Think you’ve mastered the depths? Think again. This new mode will test your skills with unique scenarios and escalating difficulties.

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

Get ready to dive into the festivities with Murky Divers—and stay tuned for the exciting update coming soon!

Sincerely,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention recruits,

Our intelligence department has observed that some divers have been encountering issues since the 1.,0 release. Rolling out significant updates is always a complex process, and while we pride ourselves on having a top-tier testing department, even the best teams can occasionally miss something.

Rest assured, we’ve been diligently working to address these challenges and improve the experience for everyone.

• Crashes: We fixed an error that could occur in random cases after a few minutes when players share data with others, causing a crash
  
• Unable to play the big submarine: the number of players for a game was picked from the last game configuration instead of picking the default player number from the chosen sub
  
• Fixed navigation on controllers/Steamdeck on host and server customization screen
  
• Fixed the wanted star display that could show 5* instead of 6* when destroying the lab, making the crew lose as the display didn't show it
  
• Fixed some enemies (mimic + gobbler) that could spit a player into a wall after their attack
  
• The mimic voice now uses the same setting as the players' voice level

If you’ve encountered any of these issues during your dive, we extend our sincerest apologies. Should these troubles have led you to file a less-than-stellar report on Murky, we understand—it’s part of the mission debrief.

However, as the waters clear and the improvements surface, we’d be deeply grateful if you’d consider updating your log with a positive report. Your feedback keeps the mission afloat!

All the best,
Pharma Corps Management

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

• Fixed submarine net not working in the big submarine
  
• Fixed several ending mugshot bugs with poses and positions
  
• Fixed the duck growing in scale after each save

• Fixed Gobbler sometimes puking divers through the ground
  
• Fixed Gobbler death that was not releasing the diver in its belly
  
• Chameleon Gobbler is now correctly stunned after puking a diver

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
