Quick answer: reset from Settings on the current Steam build
On the current Steam version, open Scale the Depths, enter Settings, and use the option to reset all game progress. Glass Gecko Games added this control in the official v1.0.4 update published on June 25, 2026.
Before confirming, back up any save data you know how to preserve and take screenshots of upgrades, fish, customers, and achievements. If Steam Cloud restores the old state, resolve the cloud conflict instead of repeatedly deleting local files.
The browser build is different. Its progress is normally tied to storage owned by the embedded game origin. Clear only the relevant site data, reload, and verify; clearing your whole browser profile is unnecessary.
Choose the reset method that matches where you play
Do not mix the Steam and browser procedures. Start with the platform that contains the progress you want to remove.
Steam PC or Mac
Use the in-game Settings reset before touching files.
Best defaultBrowser build
Clear storage for the embedded game origin, not unrelated browsing data.
For WebGL progressOld save returns
Review Steam Cloud synchronization and timestamps.
Treat as a sync issueBack up before a destructive reset
A small backup gives you a way back when the wrong profile or platform was selected.
- Close the game fully before copying or changing save data.
- Capture screenshots of upgrades, fish collection, customers, settings, and achievement progress.
- If you know a developer-confirmed save location, copy the whole save folder to a dated backup outside the game directory.
- Check whether Steam Cloud is enabled in the game's Steam properties.
- Confirm the correct Steam account and browser profile.
Uninstalling or deleting files under Browse local files may remove program files while leaving cloud or user save data intact. Use the in-game reset first, and do not guess a save path from another Unity game.
How to reset Scale the Depths on Steam
The developer's v1.0.4 announcement confirms a reset-all-progress control in Settings. The in-game path is safer than manual file deletion.
Update the game
Let Steam finish updating Scale the Depths and use v1.0.4 or a newer build that includes the reset control.
Open Settings
Launch the game and open Settings from the title screen or menu.
Choose reset all progress
Read the confirmation carefully and continue only if you intend to remove the current run and saved progression.
Close and relaunch
Exit cleanly, reopen the game, and check that the opening state reflects a new save.
Resolve any cloud prompt
If Steam asks which data to use, compare timestamps and choose the new reset state only when you are certain.
Steam lists Steam Cloud support. An older remote save may reappear if a conflict is handled incorrectly. Keep your backup until the reset survives a clean restart and sync cycle.
How to reset the browser version
A browser save does not necessarily live under scalethedepths.blog because the playable build is embedded. The relevant storage may belong to the game host shown by site-data tools.
- Open the browser buildLoad the game page and note which embedded origin provides the playable build.
- Close the game tabStop the game before clearing storage so it cannot write the old state back.
- Open site-data controlsFind the embedded game host and remove only that site's cookies, local storage, and IndexedDB.
- Reload and testOpen the page again and confirm the first-run state appears.
- Try a clean profileIf the old run remains, compare with a temporary browser profile to isolate storage or account sync.
Avoid clearing all browsing data unless you accept being signed out everywhere. Open the official game host directly when needed.
Verify that the reset really worked
A reset is complete only when the new state survives a relaunch and does not immediately return from cloud or browser synchronization.
New-game state
The opening flow, money, upgrades, and collection match a fresh run.
Second launch
Close and reopen once; the clean state should remain.
Sync check
Allow the intended new state to sync and confirm no old-save conflict appears.
If Scale the Depths will not stay reset
Use the symptom to choose the next safe action instead of deleting more files.
The old Steam save returns
Inspect Steam Cloud, account, and timestamps; preserve a backup before choosing the intended state.
The reset option is missing
Update through Steam and verify game files. Older builds may not show the v1.0.4 menu.
The browser game still has progress
You may have cleared the outer fan page rather than the embedded game origin.
Achievements remain visible
A save reset and Steam achievement history are separate systems.
The wrong profile was reset
Stop launching and restore only from an unambiguous backup or cloud copy.
