A dimly lit room in the horror survival game Darkwater shows a retro green-glow terminal on a rusted desk. Beside it sits a Halloween-themed tubeworm can, carved like a jack-o’-lantern and glowing faintly. Atmospheric indie horror scene.

Try not to get too scared by the spooky lobby décor.

Yes, that’s a jack-o’-lantern made from a tubeworm can.

Happy Halloween, Divers 🎃

🦐 Fact:
A shrimp's heart is in... it's head.

Well, it's actually in the thorax but that's in the same exoskeleton as its brain. Basically, their heart is in their head.

🦐 Fact:
Shrimp swim backwards! They use their abdomen and tail muscles to swim fast.

While they can swim forwards, they'll be slower when doing so.

🦐 Fact:
There are around 2,000 species of shrimp and you can find them in both fresh and salt water.

That's a lot of shrimp!

Divers! Some beady eyes spotted "shrimpy" features teased in our recent update.

Though they weren't included in the Brimstone update, those features are stlll to come!

To celebrate, here are some fun shrimp facts (turns out, they're pretty cool).

The sparks are decorative and 100% intentional.
