Our take on Beneath The Deep
Rather than making escape a direct route through a horror setting, the game makes preparation part of progression. Exploration, device-assisted threat tracking, and crafted equipment sit alongside problem-solving missions, adding a strategic layer to the escape structure.
What is Beneath The Deep?
Beneath The Deep places one player in a retro-styled science-fiction horror setting: a deteriorating government facility hidden beneath the ocean.
After waking from a coma, the protagonist explores its many levels, solves problems, and completes missions while facing aggressive monsters and other creatures. Progress involves crafting tools, equipment, and other items for use throughout the facility. Technological devices found in the area can help identify and track potential adversaries. The approach taken during gameplay can lead to rewards or consequences. The facility was built to separate itself from the outside world and was used for human testing. The central situation is an attempt to escape, although the surrounding creatures and environment make that dangerous.
