A tense, claustrophobic horror game where you must carefully monitor your submarine's systems while navigating the deep ocean under constant threat of suffocation.

What players say
Players enjoy the atmosphere and rhythm but agree it is very short, some finishing in under 30 minutes. Many call it more of a demo than a full game, and the ending leaves some confused.
