About the game
A first-person horror game in which an industrial diver, trapped by an accident at a Pacific seafloor facility, tries to escape to the surface in a heavy diving suit. Oxygen keeps running down, and if you hurry your breathing quickens and it drains even faster, while depth pressure and nitrogen narcosis blur reality and hallucination. Armed with little more than a flashlight and a knife, you push through the dark avoiding creatures. It is a short, story-driven single-player game.
Why we recommend it
A first-person survival horror game where, after an accident at an undersea facility, you must escape in nothing but a diving suit while rationing your oxygen. The confinement of the heavy suit and hallucinations from nitrogen narcosis create a unique kind of tension.
Good for — anyone who wants horror built on suffocating claustrophobia rather than fast action.
