Storyline & Lore
A salvage crew goes down to a rig that stopped transmitting nine days ago, and the recording they are sent to recover has been overwritten by something that learned how. The horror is procedural in structure and hand-authored in detail, which is an unusual and expensive combination.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Resource-scarce underwater survival where light is the only weapon and the only thing that attracts attention. No combat. The creature audio was field-recorded rather than pulled from a library, and the game is quieter than you expect right up until it is not.
Key Game Mechanics
Light discipline
Your lamp is navigation, tool and beacon. Everything that finds you found the lamp.
Six depths, one shader
Water and fog handled by a single material across every depth, which is why it runs.
Recorded, not sampled
Every creature vocalisation is field recorded. None of it is in a library you have heard.

Critic Reviews
"The audio is the achievement here. I turned the lamp off to hide and the game got worse, in the way it intended."
8/15/26
"No combat, no ammunition counter, and more genuine tension than any horror game with both."
