This game is very good and you should play it.
Bite sized text-based horror where you navigate a deep sea submarine through an unreliable AI visor that lists what you're looking at with margin for error.

@ctrlshifti Out of interest, the game description mentions audio; is there on-screen text available for that (yet?), or should I make sure to remember my headphones? 😅

@owenblacker there's subtitles for the calls you get from your manager, but since your visual input is quite limited it helps a lot to wear headphones because the audio spatialization can guide you in places where the visor is lacking

@CrazyMagicPick2 i shelved it because i got to a point where the story was just too muddled and i had no idea what i was doing with it. it was a fun concept at the time but didn't actually have a solid narrative backbone and i've grown a lot as a gamedev since then

This game has genuinely one of the most creative premises for the horror genre that I've ever seen

I absolutely recommend wishlisting this rn & picking it up as soon as it's available for purchase 🙌
i'm releasing my game in a few days! it's a horror comedy where you explore an abandoned lab but your only form of navigation is a shitty AI visor <3
