Why's It Getting DARKER?!
The light is your only lifeline. Descend into a crushing, thalassophobic abyss where every photograph could be your last. Investigate unpredictable deep-sea horrors and explore the vast, dark unknown - all while being 'assisted' by a darkly sarcastic AI.
Why’s It Getting DARKER?! is a first-person psychological survival horror set in a suffocating, pitch-black ocean. You aren't just a researcher; you are prey. Your only connection to the surface is a malfunctioning PDA, a small island, and a darkly sarcastic AI that seems a little too comfortable with your impending doom.
How deep are you willing to go before the light disappears for good?
CORE SURVIVAL FEATURES
📸 THE LETHAL CAMERA: Your camera isn't just for research. Document hostile anomalies to uncover the truth, but remember: looking through the lens means you aren't looking at what’s behind you.
💨 OXYGEN IS A PRIVILEGE: Manage your every breath while they are watching you. In the deep sea, every breath is a countdown.
🤖 A 'HELPFUL' COMPANION: Navigate the gloom with the guidance of a sarcastic AI assistant of Thalasso Corp. Listen closely - its "glitches" might be the only thing keeping you sane, or the very thing driving you mad.
"Dying from oxygen? Will be very embarrassing for you" - AI assistant🦈 UNPREDICTABLE AMBUSHES: From rarely-seen leviathans to aggressive modified creatures, the ocean's apex predators don't follow a script. They hunt based on your sound, your light, and your fear.
NO HANDHOLDING. NO SECOND CHANCES.
Investigate a massive underwater world where the threats evolve as the water gets colder and the pressure rises. Fight, flee, or photograph - but every choice consumes time you don't have.
Unlike passive deep-sea exploration games, every moment is a tactical decision between safety and discovery.
The darkness is alive. And it’s angry.
Note: Co-op/Multiplayer feature is intended to be added some time after the game makes its debut!
