About the Game

There's Nothing Down There is a short horror exploration game about piloting a small submarine through dark ocean caverns. Tasked with investigating a large thermal anomaly, you and a colleague descend into a deep sinkhole at the bottom of the sea. Quickly, you discover the gargantuan structures of a long lost civilization and find that as ancient as these constructions are, they are not dead nor are they unguarded. What started as a routine surveying job will turn into a journey of monumental discovery and intense danger. 

Features:

  • Deep atmospheric undersea caverns

  • Enormous ancient ruins to explore

  • Navigate dark caverns with a sonar system to find hidden pathways

  • Fully voiced story as you traverse deeper into the sunken structures

  • A life and death struggle against a colossal machine

Note
