Dark Energy Digital has rolled out a new update for its action indie game Hydrophobia: Prophecy, available to download now for owners of the game on Steam.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

What a surprise, I was just searching for this game. I'm honestly quite surprised by the water physics and definitely looking forward to trying it soon.
loved this game/ still play it. The water and atmosphere where stellar and really fun to interact with.
Adam Kerr of GameGrin finally gets around to his Steam backlog given the current situation, this time landing on Hydrophobia: Prophecy.
He writes: "There are plenty of games I’ve purchased almost a decade ago, with less than an hour of playtime. Abandoned so I could go back to trusted classics like Skyrim or Counter-Strike. Games that I never really gave a fair chance. Maybe there’s some hidden gems in there? Maybe there’s some hilariously bad stuff in there? All I know is, a combination of lockdown boredom and me needing some new content to appease the dark overlords at GameGrin have led us here. To my Steam backlog. To Hydrophobia: Prophecy, in fact."
