Depths of Peril: A Single Player Action RPG for the Mac



Depths of Peril is a fantasy, single-player action RPG computer game. It was developed by Soldak Entertainment and was released on September 5, 2007. Depths of Peril is set in the fictional lands of Aleria. In the game, the protagonist is a faction leader in the barbarian city of Jorvik. The player's main goal is to protect the city from the rampaging hordes beyond the walls, and to become leader of Jorvik. There are other factions vying for control of Jorvik however, and depending on the player's actions they will either become friends, or hinder the protagonist's progress.


Soldak Entertainment has also released a modding SDK for Depths of Peril.[6] The mod allows players to directly impact the way the game is played, from basic things such as raising or lowering the game difficulty to changing game dynamics (e.g. lowering or increasing damage done/taken, or increasing the size of your adventuring party).

The story is pretty basic: during your life you squandered your time while causing misfortune to those around you. The great god Din has cursed you into a second life which you will fill with service to others. Only when you have demonstrated true atonement for the actions of your first life will you be released for your fate.

Explore the world below the ocean floor, but watch your oxygen levels, and take care to avoid the threats lurking in the darkness.


The struggle to define the self so as to be able to live freely in the present, while conscious of both past and future, is a distinguishing mark of the Laurence heroine. In all the novels, the preciousness of the living present is emphasized by the presence of emblems of "the silence." Death inhabits the novels: in the undertaker-father of the Carneron girls, in the cemetery with the Stone Angel which opens Hagar's novel and is in sight at the placewhere Rachel and Nick make love, in the Nuisance Grounds where Christie divines the garbage and the aborted child lies amidst the refuse, in the fire that destroys the Tonnerre daughter and her children (mentioned in Stacey's novel and central to The Diviners), and in the suicides that thread their way from one novel to the next. All these emblems affirm through contrast that the nature of the living and free being is movement, growth, and change. However, whereas the female characters, through their mother-daughter ide! ntity, demonstrate the quality of existence as continuous process, the male figures (usually father or lover) often seem to represent discontinuity in themselves and reorientation for the female. The female quest for selfhood cannot be fulfilled unless the challenge represented by the male can be met. In Laurence's fiction, there are some male characters who represent the ancestral, societal past and the functions of rational personality as conceived by Jung (Mr. Currie; Marvin Shipley; Morag's husband, Brooke; Grandfather Connor), but there are also those who represent the opposite of rationality - namely, nonrational sensation, intuition, instinct, freedom from fear of nonconformity. The latter group is the more numerous: Bram and John Shipley, Nick, Niall Cameron, Dr. .McLeod, Uncle Dan, Chris, Christie, Jules, McRaith, Royland. These men are realizations of the positive animus, but they become so only through their recognition by the integrated female psyche. The recogniti! on and acceptance of the animus is fraught with peril and demands great psychic energy and courage. The special, triumphant few who divine its presence are, for Laurence, the Diviners.


Morag's relationship with McRaith demonstrates the vitality of the Hetaira in her, and the deception of Pique, which it necessitates suggests that this is the orientation most difficult for her to unite with her other aspects. McRaith seems ideally suited to Morag, since like her he is creative, dominant in sense and intuition and connected to the Celtic cultural tradition with which she identifies. But once more, as with Jules, it appears that the male is unable to integrate his inner and outer selves. McRaith cannot paint anywhere except beside the great archetype of creativity, the sea, but he cannot stay there for long because of the presence of his wife and large family. His unconscious is not freed through his wife, yet his psyche is too fragmented to live without her protection. June Singer points out that ". . . unless we are partners with that contrasexual side of our natures, the soul that leads us to our own depths, we cannot become full and independent partners ! with a beloved person in the outside world."28 This unhappy state characterizes Christie, Jules, and McRaith, while Morag, thanks to the inner marriage, is able to remain strong, despite the absence of a beloved mate. Stacey, the only other Laurence heroine who approaches the completeness of individuation achieved by Morag, and like her unites all the feminine aspects, is alone among the Manawaka women in having a real chance to find that joy and that enlarged potential for enriched experience which a happy marriage offers. 2ff7e9595c
