About the game

The Oily Depths is a short and oppressive horror story set in the cramped confines of a submarine on the ocean floor. You follow the orders of a faceless voice, drilling for oil in complete darkness. There's no time for doubt: if the quota isn't met, the oxygen will simply be cut off. The depths press, the metal creaks, and the sense of danger grows with each passing minute. Work under pressure Operating a submarine requires constant attention. Visibility is minimal, forcing the crew to rely on instruments, screens, and sensors, navigating blindly across the seabed. Any mistake could lead to a collision, failure, or fatal delay. The ocean around them seems lifeless, yet the sense of something alien never leaves. The drilling process becomes a tense ritual: levers, valves, tools, and locking mechanisms demand precision and composure. The work becomes almost mechanical, but every second of hesitation increases anxiety. The deeper you immerse yourself in the process, the more the line between machine and human blurs. Features of the game The oppressive atmosphere of isolation at the bottom of the ocean. Controlling a submarine using instruments and sensors. Intense drilling mechanics with manual control. Constant threat of suffocation, fire and unknown danger.
