Terms of Use

Deepborn · Last updated November 13, 2026

By using Deepborn you agree to these terms. They apply in addition to Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement; if they conflict, these terms apply to the extent permitted.

The game

Deepborn is a single-player game for your personal, non-commercial use. The first chapter (the sunlit zone, down to 200 m) is free. The rest of the story, the deeper zones and the free ocean are unlocked with a one-time purchase of the full version. There are no subscriptions, ads, or other in-app purchases.

Purchases and refunds

The full version is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase and stays yours: you can restore it for free on any device signed in with the same Apple ID (Restore purchase on the full-version card in the game). Payments and refunds are handled by Apple; you can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Ocean facts

The species, depths and events in Deepborn are based on real science (FishBase, Wikipedia, MBARI and research papers), simplified for play. The game is entertainment, not a scientific reference.

Your progress

Your progress is saved on your device only. If you delete the game or lose your device without a backup, your progress can't be recovered by us. Your full-version purchase can always be restored.

Copyright

The game, its code, art, music and text belong to Ahmet Gökdemir, except third-party assets used under their licenses (listed in the game's settings screen). If you believe something in Deepborn infringes your rights, email us with the details.

Disclaimer

The game is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from its use. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law in your country.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live.

Changes

We may update these terms. If we do, we'll update this page and the date above.
