Submerged is a first-person horror game set in a submarine in which you take on the role of a crew member. Whilst on an underwater voyage the submarine loses power and plummets down into the further depths of the ocean, for the sake of conspiracy crew members begin turning on each other blaming for loss of power.
As the power is somewhat restored, it becomes apparent to the player that there is a foreign entity aboard the vessel, most likely the cause of the power issues and now a hull breach. With the hull ruptured there becomes a constant intake of water and rising levels that change gameplay as the game progresses. Occasionally the character may briefly pass out due to the fluctuation in air pressure.
As the story unravels and the threat has made itself present the primary goal is to survive, in hopes rescuers will find you. Like most generic horror games, the use of lighting or lack thereof will be an integral part of the atmosphere, adding to the overall unease – in addition to this, the sound will consist of hollow echoes and rushing water as the submarine falls apart.
Inspiration: Prey on the fears of claustrophobics (confined spaces) and thalassophobics/aquaphobics (sea/water)
