About the Game

SUBSUMED is a short to mid-length horror game about cave diving. Crawl through a dark, wet, winding cave as you look for 3 missing divers. Find scattered remnants of their descent as you find yourself pushing further and further into the unknown. You never know what's hiding behind each turn.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • A linear, slowly paced horror experience.

  • Auditory focused psychological horror.

  • Claustrophobic and uncomfortable locomotion. Slow turning and crawling means anything could be lurking behind you.

  • A tense experience with limited sight range. Your flashlight only extends up to a few feet, anything could be in front of you.

  • A first playthrough clocked in at around 30 minutes - 1 hour in playtime, with multiple endings and various things to explore that allows for replayability.

GAMEPLAY

Crawl from a first-person perspective throughout the cave. No traditional movement binds are present, you must manually drag your cursor to pull yourself forward.

Don't get lost. Use whiteboards to mark areas you've explored, as well as anything else you might find. They are your main tool for navigation, and are paramount to the outcome of your rescue. Use them wisely.

Document anything you may find. Do not hesitate to pull out your camera and snap a photo of anything you find irregular. If a diver, for any number of reasons, cannot be retrieved, document what remains.
