The games

Two so far

A nonogram, all the way down

Every floor is a nonogram. Solve it and see what shares the room. The first stratum and the daily are free. The way down is bought once.

The title screen of Nonogram Depths: the game's name over a lit hearth in the catacombs' stone, deepest 80, tap to descend.

The board

Nonogram Depths · 16 × 16

Every board is a creature

The picture you solve is what shares the room with you: a monster, a treasure, a trap. The reveal and the risk are one moment.

Sixteen stones on a side, filling in the way a floor does — the same figures, the same order, the same art the game ships.

Stone by stone, all the way down

Every floor is a wall with a gap. Fit the stones and the figure stands whole. The first stratum and the daily descent are free. The way down is bought once.

The Ashlar Depths title screen: the name in gold above a teal stone wall, a lit arch in its middle, and a hooded figure on the stair below.

Read from your own settings, live. Change one and this changes with it — turn on Reduce Motion and the board above stops filling, because it should. The games keep the same manners: full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and a still form for every moment.

The studio

Nine Fathoms makes games that go down: floors, gates, and what you carry back up. Two games so far.
