Our take on Underwater
Players who need varied environments may hit the wall once the underwater prison becomes the defining space. Those uncomfortable with an oppressive setting may also bounce at the combination of mutant dangers, a large monster, and the prospect of escaping an underwater grave without outside rescue.
What is Underwater?
Enter an underwater prison as an unidentified inmate in a bleak complex where mutants roam and little evidence of human life remains.
The game centers on escaping the prison, avoiding a large monster, and investigating what happened to the facility. It also raises questions about the protagonist's identity and whether escape from the underwater grave is possible. No outside rescue is expected, leaving the inmate to find a way through the complex alone. The setting focuses on confinement, danger, and the remains of a once-inhabited underwater facility.

Underwater compared to similar games
Underwater centers on escaping an underwater prison while investigating the facility and the inmate's identity. Jusant focuses on climbing a tall tower, managing climbing tools and stamina, and uncovering the secrets of a past civilization. Sundered: Eldritch Edition is a chaotic metroidvania, giving it a different structure from Underwater's prison-escape mystery.
