About the Story

Seven days ago, the Silver Treader rose from a classified hadopelagic trench in the Pacific Ocean.  Painted on it was the blood of the three scientists that were cradled in the submarine. Their bodies were nowhere to be found.

Six days ago, the Caspian Cell, armed with the blessings of science, disembarked into the trench.

Five days ago, it emerged with a catch.

Four hours ago, everyone in the facility was reclaimed by the sea.

-

Made for the Single Choice Jam and 72 Hour Murderboy Mayhem Jam in a little less than 3 days.

Inspired by the world's craze for submarine and underwater horror.

Part of the Art Without Blood universe, but you do not need to play other games to understand this one. Syn is a distant cousin of Idony from We're Women, After All.

Brief visual novel about underwater creatures with great illustrations, August 18, 2024
by MathBrush
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

This visual novel is part of the Single Choice Jam. In it, you play as a researcher on an underwater base where everyone has been slaughtered after a humanoid creature was dragged up out of the abyss.

The highlight here is seeing the beautiful artwork, of which there is quite a lot for the brevity of the game. It has a style that is distinct and fits well with underwater horror.

The storyline is gripping and intense. I did find a couple of typos, and some analogies didn't land for me (specifically a part about 'not an oz' when referring to information). Overall, though, I was glad I played and found it interesting.
