Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror players who want first-person dungeon crawling with supernatural enemies

Skip it if you…

- Players looking for a multiplayer shooter or a climbing-focused adventure
Our take on Sonar Shock
The pitch pairs character building and side quests with a tightly bounded setting: the four floors of one submarine. Its exploration includes hidden items and adjoining quest locations, but the central environment remains the S1-Utopia.
What is Sonar Shock?
Explore the four floors of the S1-Utopia, a Soviet super-submarine overtaken by a supernatural infestation.
This first-person dungeon crawler lets players build a character around different strengths, including psychic abilities, weapon expertise, or hacking. Search the submarine for weapons such as flamethrowers, harpoon guns, and automatic pistols while investigating what happened aboard. Conversations and bartering with sailors reveal information, and side quests include solving criminal cases, searching for treasure, and fighting through a haunted cathedral crypt. Hidden items can be found behind movable bookcases and in vents. Combat draws on ammunition management and a sanity system while supernatural enemies, including Shoggoths and Rusalkas, threaten the player.
