About This Game

Survival, horror at the sunless depths of the Pacific Ocean: Stranded on the seafloor with low light and few tools, an industrial diver takes desperate steps to surface before his oxygen — and sanity — give out.

This first person survival story unfolds from inside a half-ton, high-tech dive suit — a “walking coffin." Influenced and inspired by a growing appetite for unconventional horror and narrative-driven games, Narcosis is rooted in reality, but steeped in the surreal.

Features:

Pressure Kills: High-stress situations accelerate oxygen intake, distorting sight, sound, space and time.
Hostile Waters: A knife, flashlight and flares are essential to surviving the nightmarish flora and fauna of the abyss.
Phantom Narrative: The survivor’s account unfolds in inexplicable ways alongside the player’s journey.
Beyond Good and Evil: No shadowy organizations or eldritch terrors, only primal fears and human limits.
Abyssal Ambience: A haunting soundtrack includes a closing theme from celebrated composer Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series)

Terror Verite: Primal fears — darkness, confinement and isolation — take on new levels of immersion when experienced in VR.

About Honor Code:
Based in France and California, Honor Code’s collective resume includes such games and series as Assassin’s Creed, Dead Secret, Metal Gear Solid, Remember Me, Republique, The Silent Age, and Silent Hill.

This is a short, neat little walking sim type of game, where the focus is the story, and the horrors and mystery of it. I enjoyed the way the story unravelled, it felt like watching Wandavision in that as you get more info you start making different theories about what is really happening, and just one tid-bit can completely change the direction your theories go. The gameplay is very light though, so if walking sims aren't palatable for you then this ain't it for you.

fatiguingly repetitive surreal horror jumpscares that break immersion annoying corny voiceover that feels railroaded janky QTE combat against a few enemy types aside from that, its a spooky underwater walking simulator with interesting setting and art direction that tries to stay grounded - too bad the game around it is so mediocre
