Shrouded Depths
Stranded in the fog of the murky waters on an isolated ferry with nothing but your harpoon gun, you feel the overwhelming presence of something within the misty mangrove. Your vessel is stopped dead and it is up to you with the assistance of the Captain to get the boat back up and running again.

8 itemsAbout the Game
The Devil’s Strait is no place for the faint of heart, but there’s something inside that’s worth everything. You are Thomas Sencher, a simple man with a simple goal: to find your wife, Ruth, who has been missing for 10 years.
You ventured into the Devil’s Strait armed with nothing but your devotion to Ruth, an old boat, and a harpoon gun. With the captain guiding you, your search begins.
Experience this 15-20 minute reality-bending journey with each turn around a corner revealing a new unknown horror.
A Strange Circumstance
Explore below the deck of your ship as mysterious happenings change the environment around you. As you delve further into the bowels of the boat, the more dangerous the search becomes. Others have walked the same path as you; none have survived. The Devil’s Straight senses a disturbance; that disturbance is you.
A Desperate Search
Investigate the truth behind your wife’s sudden disappearance and discover what happened. Your wife, Ruth Sencher, traveled to The Devil’s Straight with Agent Vernon of the Bureau of Prohibition to use her knowledge of the area to help find an illegal moonshining operation. She went missing almost 10 years ago. Find the notes that were left behind to piece together where your wife is; only then can you find her.
Strategic Combat
Defend yourself against the creature trying to thwart your search using your bulky but trusty harpoon gun. You are not alone within these rusted metal depths. Creatures lurk in the depths, not out of malice, but of instinct. You are not where you belong; they are merely a defence mechanism of something greater than your understanding. That does not mean that they are immune to a good ol’ hefty harpoon, but it does mean you will be limited in what you can do. Conserve your health, fight with care, and don’t waste your ammo.
