Metal Casket

Metal Casket is a short, story- and atmosphere-focused game set in the Iron Lung universe, viewed from a new perspective. You explore a barren blood ocean on a remote moon in an old, fragile diving suit, with a story that takes under an hour to complete.

Story

After the Quiet Rapture, the stars have disappeared, leaving only dying candles in an endless dark universe. Offered a chance to change your fate and find hope for fading humanity, you are sent to investigate the blood ocean. As you explore, you learn about the creatures there and the thoughts of the last remnants of human civilization. You soon realize that the promised hope may be a lie.

Exploring the ocean

Your view is limited, and two lights with limited energy are all you have to help you see. You walk through the environment and observe the objectives you encounter to uncover the story. The experimental gameplay has no parkour, dodging or fighting; you can only walk and watch your back.

Sound and atmosphere

The game features a self-made ambience track and builds its experience around exploration and atmosphere. You travel through a cold, bloody ocean in a heavy diving suit, unsure what might be watching you.
