About the Game

Rip Current is a tense, atmospheric single-player survival horror game set in the depths of a research facility where humanity’s desperation to save the planet has birthed something far worse.

You play as Carter, a special operations contractor sent to investigate the sudden radio silence from Post Salvos, the facility at the heart of the project. Upon arrival, it becomes clear that the experiment has gone wrong. The station is in ruins, flooded and overrun by engineered predators: chief among them, a ferocious and relentless Spinosaurus.

Features:

  • Deep Sea Dread: Explore a sprawling, aquatic research station. Navigate tight corridors, flooded labs, and evade the creatures that stalk the waters below and the darkness ahead.

  • Fight or Flight: You're armed, but not with much. Choose to sneak, run or fight your way through the unleashed predators. 

  • Discover: Uncover logs, research files, and eerie remains of the station's staff to piece together what happened.

Will you shut down the experiment before it reshapes the oceans forever, or join the lost souls of Post Salvos?
