With Steam Ocean Fest underway, it only makes sense that nautical horror games get the spotlight, such as Tide Hermit’s upcoming co-op game Wreck Below. The solo dev has been constantly tweaking the demo, which recently just received an update.
Wreck Below has you or having up to three friends join you as you investigate oceanic paranormal sites caused by haunted wrecks. You and your crew are tasked with diving into these dangerous sites to dismantle the wrecks while avoiding the dangers that lurk in the depths.
Each mission begins aboard a research vessel, where players select a mission, equip their tools, and deploy into wreck sites. Once underwater, crews navigate through floating islands to locate and dismantle wrecks while managing environmental hazards and limited visibility. As the mission progresses, something begins to notice the crew. Audio distorts, and systems fail. Extraction becomes increasingly uncertain.
Wreck Below makes use of a sanity mechanic, where peering too long into the depths will drain your sanity. You’ll need to stick to the task at hand in order to keep a grip on things. Making things even more interesting in the various biomes you’ll enter is the fact that each map is procedurally generated, making no two dives the same.
