NOTE: I recommend playing the downloadable version if you have Windows, performance is better.

The USS Tartarus sank months ago, after it's Captain went rogue and sailed the ship into the heart of the Pacific. It's wreck has been located, and a diving expedition sent to investigate and recover a strange necklace the crew supposedly recovered.

You're equipped with a knife, a speargun with a few spears, a single health kit, and enough oxygen to last the dive. Also provided is a small experimental hydrophone, which can decode the anomalous signals commonly found near underwater human remains.

This game surely giving ps1 vibe and I have no words to express atmosphere as other people said it was very good perfectly fitting with the gameplay and sounds. as a feedback I can say I did face some issues with combat but it didn't affect my gameplay. 👍🏻

Thanks for playing and the feedback!

Yeah the combat ended up being disappointing in my view, but I'm happy you still enjoyed it!
