6 itemsAbout the Game
Flash Diving is a claustrophobic short horror experience where sound will be key to ensuring the success of your mission and your own survival, heavily inspired by games such as Iron Lung and Five Nights at Freddy's.
Descend through a drill-made hole in the middle of an ocean in order to find the drill itself, or what remains of it.
Use the four old floodlights outside your small capsule to uncover what is hiding in your surroundings. But be careful, the technology is prmitive and it might take a while to charge the flash.
The game uses a minimal control scheme, similar to a walking simulator, where you can just walk and click.
The art style employs a pixelated look and low-poly models to reminisce about older games with lower resolutions, but where gameplay was profound and fun to play.
As of today, there are no remaining natural resources on your planet, and the cold war that has been going on between nations has only made the situation worse. Your government, in a desperate attempt to gain an advantage over their enemies, sent a drill to the middle of the central ocean, since a geolocation analysis had found an anomaly in that place. Upon reaching the anomaly, connection with the drill was lost.
It is thought that one of the opposing nations might have found the operation and interacted with the expedition, so you are sent in a small capsule, controlled by a ship in the exterior, to reach the drill and ensure the connection to its database and the retrieval of the results.
