Description



This game has both VR and Non-VR suport!

The Arctic depths conceal mysteries that are impossible to fully comprehend.

An tempting offer: a short contract, generous compensation, and an expedition beyond the Arctic Circle. How could one resist? Your task seemed simple — to service the carrier vessel of the enigmatic soviet submarine  called "Sever-3" (North-3).

But fate had other plans: You volunteered to replace an ill staff mechanic for one mission, and as luck would have it, everything went awry on that very occasion. Now you're a prisoner of the depths, lost in the ruins of an abandoned Soviet research complex.

Your only chance for survival is to master the control of this highly complex underwater vessel and uncover the secrets buried here for decades.

But be cautious: in these dark waters, you are not alone.

Uncover the mysteries of the past to secure your future. Will you manage to escape this underwater trap, or will you remain forever a captive of the cold Arctic waters?


Submarine




The "Sever" submarine was built with the most advanced technology of its time. Decades later, some of the equipment looks old-fashioned, but others are still impressively advanced.

Use the holographic navigator to avoid getting lost in the Zone's labyrinths, the sonar to see your surroundings, and the underwater drone to interact with the outside world.
And don't forget to monitor your power consumption, as the onboard nuclear reactor is prone to overheating.


The Zone

Explore the ruins of a research complex built on the territory of an anomalous zone. As a result of a mysterious disaster decades ago, the entire complex was deserted overnight. Solve the mystery of what happened in the past, restore the chain of events as you explore the territory of the Zone, and find a way to get out of here alive.


Features

  • Immersive experience in both senses, both literally and figuratively
  • A variety of instruments. You have no windows, but you're not blind. Use them to find your way out.
  • A detailed submarine that is not your enemy, but your ally. So don't hesitate, learn how it works and become a skilled submariner.
  • You can't go outside in a wet suit, but that doesn't mean you can't interact with the outside world. Use your trusty (and nearly indestructible) ROV to retrieve and place objects in the caves.

Really. Your feedback is what motivates me to continue development of this game. It's a solo project, and it may be tough to keep motivation sometimes.
