Hope you’re not claustrophobic
Okay, we all agree that the ocean is kind screwed up right? Like, we’ve all seen thatYouTube video showing how deep the sea isand unanimously agree that it’s, like, terrifying? As much as I loverelaxing subaquatic city buildersandexploring underwater alien worlds, I want games about stuff in the sea that makes my skin crawl to think about. EnterFull Fathom.

From the trailer and screenshots, controlling the submarine seems incredibly tactile. Looks like you’ll be running back and forth between putting inputs into the navigation console, managing the ship’s turrets, checking the engine room, reading the sonar scanner, and trying not to let the weird, foreboding noises from outside the hull seep into your brain. It looks like you really are completely in charge of charting the ocean, which is a scary thought.
There’s something about controlling giant, mechanical contraptions that I love. Full Fathom’s different consoles and screens remind me why I love games likeNauticrawlandFar: Changing Tidesso much. The vibe here is very different from those though and feels more likeIron Lungin terms of paranoia and claustrophobia (another excellent underwater horror game).
But yeah! Full Fathom looks cool, and you can check out the game’s Steam pagehere. Have some more screenshots:
