As if regular abandoned hospitals weren't bad enough…

#survivalgame #coophorror #indiegamedev

An abandoned submarine infirmary with a metal bed and medical equipment. Two players are acting as submarine crew members looking around the room. Survival horror, horror game development, game development, indie games.

When you said you wanted more ‘crew variety’, this isn’t what you meant.

Which one are you?

The hoarder 🪣
The strategist ♟️
The navigator 🧭
The dead one 💀

POV: you were the first crewmate to die and now this is your ghost mouse reality.

DARKWATER @playdarkwater.bsky.social · 26d

Me: trying to hold the sub together.
My crewmate: attacks me with a wrench.

An in-game screenshot form the horror extraction co-op game, Darkwater. This screenshot shows a crewmate with a wrench in their hand in a swinging motion, as if they are about to attack the other crewmate.

You can only eat one for the rest of your time under the ice.
Which are you going to choose?

Tinned Fishmeal
Tinned Tubeworms

⚠️Attention Divers⚠️

Darkwater patch 0.4.19 is deployed.

From improved outpost hallway generation, to increased Depth Charge spawning chance.

More information can be found in the patch notes here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/619...

DARKWATER @playdarkwater.bsky.social · Sep 3

They had one job - watch the pumps. I guess they took that too literally...

DARKWATER @playdarkwater.bsky.social · Aug 29

A hotfix has bubbled up from the depths.

The Depth Charge now has an increased chance of spawning, and Outposts should now not spawn with impossible to reach areas.

This is just two of the bugs that have been fixed - so dive in now and explore.

A bigger sub means more room for your loot, medbays and artillery...
But when the hull is breached, repairs are harder and every second counts.
How has your crew built their vessel?

POV: you call an emergency meeting because your teammates keep getting caught by enemies

Legends spoke of a Jumbo Crab in the depths.
Blind, but able to hear a pin drop.
They weren't lying... would you hunt it or hide?
