You awake to the sound of the sea, finding yourself lying on a beach. You have no recollection of how you got here, as the previous night you were surely in your own bed. As there is nowhere else to go you decide to venture inland. Immediately after leaving the beach you fall down a steep cliff which thankfully had a collection of sand from the beach at the bottom, cushioning your fall. Upon hoisting yourself out of the sand you inspect your surroundings, finding a strange egg shaped rock sitting in what looks like a small crater. You curiously handle the stone, giving it a once over. Almost immediately after, the land quakes as what seems like beasts howl in the distance. The stone in your hand glows, afterwards cracking open and revealing a small creature.
You play as this guy who has somehow ended up in a very strange place, after discovering an equally strange creature. This creature seems to be incredibly attached to you and attempts to defend you from threats such as other beasts. As you progress through areas, you may find you cannot continue without some unique abilities for your pet, this is when you must either find an alternate route or find and defeat other unique beasts and have your pet 'absorb' their abilities. The further you go, the worse it gets as it feels like darkness itself lies ahead.

You are part of a scientific crew who develop and test experimental equipment. Unlike your peers however, you are just the 'test' guy, as most of the equipment can have rather explosive accidents if something goes awry. In the latest test you and your team set out across the sea to some place seemingly in the middle of nowhere. On this trip your mission is to put a new environmental suit through its paces in the depths of the ocean. After adorning the suit you are slowly lowered into the water by a line via crane, as you progress down the light slowly disappears around you, until you are completely engulfed in darkness. Shortly after the line inexplicably breaks, you panic and try to swim and grab the broken end of the line. But you only end up flailing around grasping at nothing as it is too dark to see and the lights on your suit do little to help, you then pass out from the stress and plummet ever deeper into the depths. Eventually you wake up, and before you lies some form of structure being poorly illuminated by your lights, upon closer inspection you find it to be a cave entrance of sorts, with odd shapes of beast and the like that seem heavily worn and engraved about the entrance. Against your better judgement you decide to enter, upon looking back you see that where you entered is now a solid wall, nervous you venture onwards…
In this game you explore the depths of an unknown underwater ruin, what seems to have been inhabited by people at some point, but is now home to monsters of all sorts. Your objective is to stay alive and explore the ruins while finding and using anything that may help you get back to the surface. Strange technology also exists down here which will include a variety of equipment such as weapons and upgrades for your suit.
