Killer Depths

Killer Depths is a submarine horror game in which you are the vessel’s lone crew member. You must retrieve cargo from the ocean floor while identifying the creatures in the surrounding waters and adjusting the submarine to avoid them.

Investigate the creatures

Each day, you receive an updated bestiary of potential threats and the known ways to avoid them. More than a dozen creatures haunt the waters. Many cannot be seen or heard, so you must investigate them through other clues. What you see and hear may not be real.

The submarine’s brightness, noise and speed can attract monsters or scare them away. Keep the lights on and the windows open to spot predators swimming nearby, or turn the lights off and close the windows to pass creatures that rely on sight. The CO2 Scrubber provides your breathable air, but shutting it down can reduce noise; you need to remember to turn it back on.

Keep the submarine running

The submarine contains tools for detecting what may be outside, including photography, Thermal Vision, a Radio Headset and Sonar. If you anger a monster, it may attack and cause heavy damage, system malfunctions, fires, water leaks, flooding, power outages or explosions. You must use the available tools to repair problems and keep the vessel from imploding, while working out what attacked you.

Retrieve the cargo

Recover the target without crashing into the sea floor, then try to make it back to the surface alive. Vigilant divers may also uncover encrypted messages that reveal details about the world and their employer.
