About the game
A sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, the makers of Amnesia, starring Simon, who wakes up in PATHOS-II, an undersea research facility at the bottom of the Atlantic. With no weapons, you hide and run as you move through the facility, and sometimes put on a diving suit and walk the seafloor to reach the next area. Throughout the story it raises questions about consciousness and identity. A Safe Mode, in which monsters do not attack, has been added so you can follow just the story.
Why we recommend it
A sci-fi horror adventure set in the underwater research facility PATHOS-II, telling a weighty story about identity. A landmark of underwater horror, with superb tension as you walk through facilities deep beneath the sea.
Good for — anyone drawn more to a weighty sci-fi story than to scares.
